Essential Safety Equipment Seats To return the third-row seat to the road position (forward facing) 1. Make sure to stow the shoulder belts away from the seat bottom as it is lowered. 2. Detach the support bar by following the reverse procedure for installation. 3. From inside the vehicle, carefully lower the seat towards the front until it locks in place. Attempt to move the seat forward and backward to make sure it's securely locked in place. Flat Folding All seats can be folded down for use as beds when the vehicle is safely parked. WARNING Folded-Flat Seats: Sitting or lying on seats folded flat is a dangerous way to ride. During sudden braking or a collision you could be thrown around inside the vehicle and seriously injured. Don't ride on seatbacks folded flat. 4. Reinsert the head restraints. 5. Place the seat belt buckles face up. 6. Fasten the shoulder belts and check that they are routed properly for passenger use. 2-28
