FORD 2013 Flex v.3 - Manual (Page 177)

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.
Note: In order to allow the seat to complete the stowed position, do not
place objects under the seat before stowing. Remove all objects from the
seat and stowage tub. Sharp objects may result in damage to the seat
upholstery and improper seat function.
Note: In the unlikely event that the third row power seat stops
prematurely, or travels to an unexpected position, press the FOLD
button (C) to reset the seat and return it to a normal position.
WARNING: Do not drive the vehicle when the third row seat is
rotated backwards. During a sudden stop, the safety belts are not
functional in this position and the third row seat can rapidly tip back to
the forward position, all of which may result in serious injury.
Closing the liftgate
WARNING: To avoid injury to third row occupants when closing
the liftgate, make sure that the head of any occupant is not in
the path of the closing liftgate.
