Seating and safety restraints To reduce the risk of personal injury, the second row seat should not be left in the forward, E-Z entry position while the vehicle is in motion. Please ensure that the seat is in the upright, fully latched rearward position before putting the vehicle in motion. Refer to the warning label on the seat side shield. 1. Rotate the upper seat control rearward while pushing the seatback toward the front of the vehicle. 2. Push the seatback toward the front of the vehicle. This releases the seat track and the seat will move forward. 3. After entering the 3rd row seat, pull back the 2nd row seatback until it latches at full rearward position. This will latch and lock the seatback and the seat track. Insure the seat is pulled back to the locked position, whether the seat is occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may cause injury during a sudden stop. FOLDING DOWN THE THIRD ROW SEAT Pull the seat release lever located on the lower right side of the seatback while pushing the seatback down into the seat cushion. The seatback will latch into place. Pull the seat release lever to return the seatback into the upright seating position. 82
