Seating and Safety Restraints PowerFoldா 3rd-row seat (if equipped) The third row seat features a power one-touch operation that allows you to adjust the Left, Right, or Both seats into a NORMAL, STOW or FOLD position with just one touch of a button. The third row seat also includes obstacle detection that allows the seat to stop and reverse direction if it hits an obstacle so that the obstacle can be removed. The third row power seat buttons are located behind the third row seats on the left-hand quarter trim panel. Note: The power fold seats work only when the vehicle is in P (Park) and the tailgate is open. If the ignition is off and the feature is still running, the battery saver will turn it off after 10 minutes. You can reactivate the power seats by pressing on the remote entry key transmitter or by using the unlock procedure on the keyless entry keypad. Refer to the Locks and Security chapter. 1 2 3 4 RH BOTH NORMAL STOW FOLD LH Press the seat selection button (4) to select either right-hand seat, the left-hand seat or both.

Allow the first seat movement to be completed before pressing a button for another function.

Failure to remove all objects from the top of the load floor prior to unstowing it may cause damage to the seat. 173 2012 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
