behind the seatback. After returning the
seatback to its original position, pull on the

in the tumbled position. Always latch the
vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat
is occupied or empty. If not latched or if

Unfolding the Third Row Manual Seat WARNINGS
Make sure seat is latched to vehicle
floor by pushing and pulling on the
seat. If not latched, the seat may
cause injury during a sudden stop. WARNINGS
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. 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. Note:
Make sure that there are no objects
such as books, purses or briefcases 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: Make sure the area under the load
floor is free of objects before unstowing it.

(If Equipped)
Front Seats WARNING
People who are unable to feel pain
to their skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal
cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the heated seat to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles
or other pointed objects. This may damage
the heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water or any
other liquid spills on the seat. Allow the
seat to dry thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless the
engine is running. Doing so can cause
the battery to lose charge.
