the seat is free of objects before
stowing it.
To fold and stow the third-row seat:
1. Remove all objects from the seat and
floor stowage tub area.
2. Fold the head restraint by pulling the
head restraint release strap.
3. From the rear of the vehicle, fold the
seatback by pulling and holding the
red strap while pushing the seatback
forward. Release the strap when the
seatback starts rotating forward.
4. To fold the seat fully into the floor,
release the cushion latches by pulling
two straps at the same time: the
short black strap (next to the red
strap) and the headrest release strap. To unfold the third-row seat:
NOTE: Make sure that the area is free of
objects before unstowing it.
1. Unlatch and lift the seat out of the
tub in the floor by squeezing and
pulling up on the handle. When the
seat is in a vertical position, push the
seat over, letting it fall onto
the latches.
2. To return the seatback to the upright
position, pull the red strap, then while
holding the red strap, pull the long
strap located on the seat back to
raise the seatback.
3. Pull the head restraints up to their
normal position.
NOTE: Push and pull on the seat to
make sure it latches to the vehicle
floor. An unlatched seat may become
dangerous in the event of a sudden
stop or crash.
POWERFOLD® THIRD-ROW SEATS* These seats feature a power, one-touch
operation that allows you to fold and
stow the seats. See the Seats chapter
in your Owner’s Manual for details.

The front head restraints tilt for extra

driving or riding position.
2. Pivot the head restraint toward
you for the desired position.
After the head restraint reaches the
forward-most tilt position, pivoting
it forward again releases it to the
rearward, un-tilted position.

To operate, press on the rear of
the floor console repeatedly to cycle
