FORD 2012 Expedition v.2 - Manual (Page 150)

Folding Down the 2nd Row 40% Seat System
WARNING: Use caution when folding the seatback to the flat
back position as the system will move forward when you lift the
release handle.
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 ensure that it has fully latched. An
unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
Make sure that the head restraint is in the down position and no objects
such as books, purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the
second row seats before folding them down.
Move the front passenger seat forward so that the second row seat
headrest clears the front seat.
1. Lower the head restraints by
pulling on the strap.
2. Locate handle on the side of the
seat cushion by the door.
3. Pull up on the handle and push
the seatback forward toward the
front of the vehicle.
