To return the seatback to upright position, pull the number 1 strap, then while holding the number 1 strap, pull the long strap located on the seatback to raise the seatback. 3. Pull the head restraints up to their normal adjusted positions. WARNING: Ensure seat is latched to vehicle floor by pushing/pulling on seat.

WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind 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. WARNING: The third row seat is NOT designed to be used when rotated backwards. Placing the seat in this position could result in damage to the seat and surrounding components, or personal injury if the seat suddenly tips back to the forward position during use. 174 2009 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
