Adjustable Rear Seating Three-Passenger Bench Seat When entering and exiting the vehicle, third-row passengers must be careful that they step over the auxiliary safety restraint system that is present with the second-row bench seat. Labels are provided on the back of the second-row bench seat to remind passengers to use care when exiting. The three-passenger bench seat can be positioned in any of five positions along the seat track. Three of these positions are for seating and two are storage positions to accommodate varying cargo requirements. Arranging the Seats for Maximum Cargo Space or Passenger Seating Flexibility NOTE: When moving the three-passenger bench seat, the seat cushion cannot be lowered unless the seat is in a seating position. If you cannot get the seat cushion to lower, you may have the seat in a storage position. NOTE: Before re-positioning seats, remove any floor mats that may be in the way. 193
