Third-Row Seat Access (Manual Seats)
WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original position,
make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the
seatback. After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on
the seatback to make sure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat
may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or crash.
WARNING: Do not adjust or release the seat floor latch while
vehicle is in motion. Do not operate the vehicle with seats in
tumbled position. Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the
seat is occupied or empty. If not latched or if the seat is tumbled, the
seat may cause injury during a sudden stop.
Note: Remove items from the second-row seat and 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.
Note: For second-row bench seats, make sure the center safety belt is
unbuckled before folding the seatback.
Note: You may have to move the front-row seat forward to allow the
second-row seat to be fully tumbled.
Note: You may have to lower the center head restraint. See Head
Restraints earlier.
Fold and tumble the second-row seat to access the third row.
