Your vehicle may have a stowable seat. The stowable seat is a full bench seat and comes with the convenience center. See Convenience Center for more information. The stowable seat can be removed and replaced, or with the seatback folded, it can lie flush with the convenience center.

Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

To fold down the seatback, pull up on the lever located on the back of the seat, and push the seatback down until it is locked into place.

Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked into place.

To raise the seatback, do one of the following:

Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked into the upright position.

1. Remove the convenience center, if it is in the vehicle. See Convenience Center for more information.
2. Make sure all items are off of the stowable seat.
3. If the seatback is down, put the seatback in its upright position before removing the seat. See "Folding the Seatback" previously in this section.



4. From behind the bench seat, push up the release handles at the base of the seat to release the latches from the floor pins.
5. While holding onto the crossbar at the bottom of the seat, remove the seat by rocking it slightly toward the rear of the vehicle and then pulling it out. This should be done in one motion.

Notice: If you use the release handles to remove the seat, the handles could break, and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Use the crossbar located at the seat bottom to remove the seat.

Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

Caution: A seat that is not locked into place properly can move around in a collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock the seat into place properly when installing it.

Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After installing the seat, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

Do not put the stowable seat in so it faces rearward because it will not latch that way. The stowable seat has to go in before the convenience center. See Convenience Center for more information.

The stowable seat has seat position labels, located on the back of the seat, showing where the seat must go. Follow the floor pin diagram. Use the front floor pins of the floor cups and the rear floor cups in the third row.

The seat must be placed in the proper location for the legs to attach correctly.

Make sure the seat is in its upright position before beginning this procedure.

1. Place the front hooks of the seat onto the front floor pins in the third row. To do this, the seat will need to be angled so the front hooks clear the floor pins.

If the front legs are not attached correctly, the rear legs will not attach to the rear set of floor pins.

2. Firmly push the rear hooks into the rear floor pins by pushing down on the rear of the seat.
3. Try to raise the seat to make sure that it is locked down.
4. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked into place.
