CONVENIENCE (cont.) SEVEN PASSENGER SEAT VERSATILITY To fold both second- and third-row seats in half, drop the second-row seats into the floorboards and create a wide-open flat-loading floor in your cargo area. Here's how to do it: To Fold the Second Row Seats 1.  Make sure the head restraints are in their lowest position. 2.  Pull the strap. 3.  Fold the seatback forward. When folding the larger, 60% seat, make sure you push down in the center of the seat to make sure that the seat latches lock. 4.  Pull the large strap on the rear of the seatback. 5.  Move the seat forward to the lowered position. As before in Step 3, when folding the larger, 60% seat, make sure you push down in the center of the seat to make sure that the seat latches lock. NOTE When the seat locks into its lowered position, it sounds a distinct click. If you can see the red on the pull strap, then the seat is not latched. Push down on the seat until the red flag disappears. When you cannot see the red flag, then you know that the seat is in its latched and locked position. 1 2 You can fold the third-row seats down to create a flat-loading cargo floor: 1.
