Seats 175 WARNING: Make sure seat is latched to vehicle floor by pushing and pulling on the seat. If not latched, the seat may cause injury during a sudden stop. WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback. After returning the seat back to its original position, pull on the seatback to make sure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or crash. WARNING: Do not drive the vehicle when the third-row seat is rotated backwards. During a sudden stop, the safety belts are not functional in this position and the third-row seat can rapidly tip back to the forward position, all of which may result in serious injury. Note: Do not use seat in this position or damage to seat may occur. PowerFold™ Third-Row Seats (If Equipped) Note: The third-row seat includes obstacle detection that allows the seat to stop and reverse direction if it hits an obstacle so that the obstacle can be removed. Note: Pressing a different button while the power seat feature is already being performed may cause the first selected seat movement to be cancelled. Allow the first seat movement to be completed before pressing a button for another function. Note: Make sure that there are no objects such as books, purses or briefcases on the load floor before unstowing the seat. Failure to remove all objects from the top of the load floor prior to unstowing it may cause damage to the seat. 2015 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, September 2014 USA (fus)
