Seating and safety restraints Accessing the 3rd row seat If your vehicle has an adjustable 2nd row bench seat or 2nd row bucket console seat, it can be adjusted to allow easier access to the 3rd row seat by sliding the seat forward, folding the seatback to the forward flat position, or using the recline control to adjust seatback forward. If your vehicle has 2nd row bucket seats, it has an easy entry seat feature which allows ready access to the 3rd row seat. To access the 3rd row seat with 2nd row buckets: 1. Pull the seatback recline control up and allow seatback to flip forward. 2. Push seatback toward front of vehicle. This releases the seat track automatically and the seat will move forward. 3. After entering the 3rd row seat, pull back the seatback until it latches. This will latch and lock the seatback and the seat track. The seatback and seat will not return to their original position. Do not attempt to use this feature when the seatback is folded in the forward flat position. The seatback must be in an upright position, as shown, for the system to work properly. Check to see that the seat and seatback is latched securely in position. Keep floor area free of objects that would prevent proper seat engagement. Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is in motion. 125
