Seating and Safety Restraints Note: In order to allow the seat to complete the stowed position, do not place objects under the seat before stowing. Remove all objects from the seat and stowage tub. Note: In the unlikely event that the third row power seat stops prematurely, or travels to an unexpected position, press the FOLD button (3) to reset the seat and return it to a normal position. WARNING: Do not drive the vehicle when the third row seat is rotated backwards. During a sudden stop, the safety belts are not functional in this position, and during a sudden stop, the third row seat can rapidly tip back to the forward position, all of which may result in serious injury. Folding the head restraints manually The head restraints can also be folded manually without folding/stowing the seat. • Fold: Pull the head restraint release strap to fold the head restraints forward. • Unfold: Pull the head restraints back to the upright position. WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash, passenger occupants should not sit in the vehicle until the head restraint is placed in its proper position. 165 2011 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
