REAR SEATS
Second row seats
Your vehicle’s second row outboard seating positions are equipped with
head restraints which are vertically adjustable. The purpose of these
head restraints is to help limit head motion in the event of a rear
collision. To properly adjust your head restraints, lift the head restraint
so that it is located directly behind your head or as close to that position
as possible.
The head restraints can be raised by
lifting. To lower the head restraint,
press the release button.
If the head restraint becomes detached, replace the notched bar into the
bezel while holding the release button.
Second row folding seat system
Ensure that no objects such as books, purses or briefcases are on the
floor in front of the second row seats or on the seat cushion before
folding them down. Ensure that the head restraints are lowered.
Move the front passenger seat forward so that the second row seat
headrest clears the front seat.
For assistance, refer to the label located on the side of the seat cushion.

The power folding seats are designed to stall within 1–10 seconds
of encountering an obstruction when opening or closing. Should
this occur, remove the obstruction and wait approximately 1–4
minutes for the seat motor to reset.
The power fold down seats will operate for 30 minutes after the
ignition switch is in Off. The transmission must be in P (park),
and the liftgate, or liftgate glass must be open. Similar to the

minutes after turning the vehicle off. If the power 3rd row seat is
disabled after 30 minutes, the seat can be enabled by opening any
door, pressing the unlock key on the key fob, pressing any keyless
keypad button, or turning the ignition key.

•Front safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors,
and safety belt usage sensors.
