Seating and Safety Restraints Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped underneath the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat is occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may cause injury during a sudden stop. Second row bench seat tip slide feature 1. Push the side easy-entry control handle forward and allow the seat back to flip forward. 2. Push the seat forward to allow access to the third row. After entering the 3rd row, pull back the seatback until it latches. This will latch and lock the seatback and the seat track. The seatback and seat will not return to their original position. Note: Ensure the front row seat is in a forward position to allow the seat to return. 122 2005 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
