If the vehicle has a third row seat, it is a power folding seat.
The head rests must be removed before folding the third row seat. See Head Restraints for more information.
The buttons to operate the power folding third row seat are inside the liftgate and behind the second row seat on the passenger side of the vehicle.
: Press to tilt the seatback forward or rearward.: Press to fold the seat.
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat.
Before folding or unfolding the third row seat, all of the following conditions must be met:
| • | The liftgate or passenger side rear door must be open. |
| • | The unlock button on either the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or the door must be pressed three times to enable the rear seat for two minutes, or the ignition must be in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY. |
| • | The vehicle must be in P (Park). |
| • | The vehicle cannot have a low battery. |
After the seat is folded, fold the panel on the seat forward flat on the floor.
If the seat's path is blocked, it will stop and back away. Press the button again to return the seat to its previous position.
Before returning the third row seat to the passenger seating position, the panel must be folded back upon itself. Press and hold one of the power folding seat buttons and the seat will unfold into the seating position. If the seat is not unfolded fully into the seating position, a chime will sound when the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). This indicates that the seat is not ready for a passenger.
Replace the head rests.
