Rear Seats

Base vehicles are designed to accommodate 5 passengers in the rear seats. Several other optional seating arrangements are shown in the illustrations.

Any of the second and the third row seating arrangements (except the captain's chairs) are modular.

Each seat of the second and third row seating arrangements have the following characteristics:

    • Each seat can be folded.
        The second row captain's chair can not be folded.
    • Each seat can be flipped.
        The second row captain's chair can not be flipped.
    • Each seat is removable.
    • Each seat can be stored.

Captain's chairs are designed with a dual side recliner control mechanism similar to the front seats. This recliner mechanism is the sole control for the seat back angle. The recliner mechanism is mounted on the inboard side of the seat.

Rear buckets and split benches are designed with a single-sided recliner mechanism. The recliner control lever is located on the right hand side of the seat cushion. Lift the recliner lever and apply rearward pressure on the seat back in order to recline the seat back. Lift the recliner lever while leaning forward to allow the recliner mechanism to spring forward in order to raise the position of the seat back.
