properly in the event of a crash, which could
increase the risk of serious injury. WARNINGS

floor latch when the vehicle is moving.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death in a sudden stop
or crash. Do not drive your vehicle with a seat
that is unlatched or in the folded
position. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash. Note:

seat. Make sure that no bulky objects such
as purses or briefcases are on the floor in
front of the second-row seats before
tumbling them.

Stowing the Third Row Seat
Note:

tub may cause serious damage to the seat
upholstery and cause improper seat function. 1. From the rear of the vehicle, stow the
head restraints by pulling the strap on
the middle of the seatback just below the

by pulling and holding the red strap while
pushing the seatback forward. Release
the strap once the seatback starts
rotating forward. 2. Release the cushion latches by pulling
the short black strap while pulling on the
strap at the top of the seatback. This

tub.
Note: Do not use the seat anchors as cargo
tie downs. Note:
Do not use the third row seatback as
a load floor when the seatback is folded.
Sharp objects may result in damage to seat
upholstery.
Note: Make sure that the area under the
seat is free of objects before stowing it.

place by rocking it backward and
forward. Not securing the seat into the
locked position can be dangerous in a crash
and could cause serious personal injury or
death. Note:
Make sure that there are no objects
such as books, purses or brief cases on the
load floor before unstowing the seat. Failure
to remove all objects from the top of the load
floor prior to unstowing it may cause
damage to the seat.

portion of the load floor is free of objects
before unstowing the third row seat. 1. Unlatch and lift the seat out of the floor
tub by squeezing and pulling up on the
handle. Once the seat is at a vertical
position, push the seat over, letting it fall
onto the latches. 2. To return the seatback to the upright
position, pull the red strap. Then, while
holding the red strap, pull the long strap
on the seatback to raise the seatback.
