Adjusting 2nd Row Bucket and Bench Seats Lift the side handle to adjust the seat back. Using the same control will fold the seat back flat. Lifting the control (if equipped) located underneath the seat cushion will adjust the seat forward or backward. Accessing the 3rd Row Seats Ensure that the 2nd row seat head restraints are in the full down position and no objects such as books, purses, or briefcases are on the floor in front of the 2nd row seats before folding them down.

Lift the same handle a second time to "tumble" the seat forward to allow access to the 3rd row seat. Stowing the 3rd Row Bench or Split Bench Seat in Tub Move the head restraint fully down. Ensure that the stowage tub is clear of objects prior to cycling. From the rear of the vehicle, fold the seat back by pulling and holding the number 1 strap while pushing the seat back forward.
