Flip and Fold Feature The rear seats in your vehicle can be folded forward. Use this feature for exiting and entering third row seats. 1. If the seats have the adjustable head restraints, push them fully down. 2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat, by either pulling on the nylon strap on the rear of the seat or lifting up on the lever located on the front of the seatback. If the seat adjusts, slide it all the way back. 3. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins by pulling the nylon strap located at the base of the seat; hang on to the strap as the seat folds forward. To return the seat(s) to the normal position, do the following: 1. Push the seat back and firmly push the rear hooks onto the rear floor pins by pushing down on the rear of the seat. 2. Try to raise the seat to check that it is locked down. 3. Lift the seatback recliner lever or pull the nylon strap on the back of the seat and raise the seatback until it locks upright. 4. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked. 1-7
