Seating and Safety Restraints To return the seat to a seating position: 1. Push the seat down and latch to the floor with a moderate amount of effort and speed. 2. Make sure the seat is latched to the floor. 3. Bring the seat back to an upright position. The seatback should lock into position. Note: If the seat back will not return to the upright position, tumble the seat again and re-latch it to the floor. Be sure that cargo or other objects are not trapped underneath the seatback. 4. Lift up on the head restraint until it locks into its original position. 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. Note: In vehicles equipped with 3rd row seats, the 2nd row recline/unlatch handle on the outboard sides of both 60% and 40% seats should not be used as a grab handle to raise the entire seat up from cargo mode (kneeling position), or to lower it from its tumbled position. This handle is there only to recline the seat back and to unlatch the rear seat/floor attachment, in order to tumble the seat in the forward direction. To raise the seat up from the cargo mode (kneeling position), the entire seat should be lifted up using the seat back or the seat cushion area as a grabbing surface. 181 2010 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
