Seating and Safety Restraints Stowing the third row seat 1. Remove all objects from the seat and stowage tub. Objects in the seat or stowage tub may cause serious damage to the seat upholstery and cause improper seat function. 2. From the rear of the vehicle, stow the head restraints by pulling the strap located on the middle of the seatback just below the head restraint, then fold seatback by pulling and holding the number 1 strap while pushing the seatback forward. Release the strap once the seatback starts rotating forward. 3. Release the cushion latches by pulling the number 2 strap while pulling on the strap located at the top of the seatback to tumble the seat all the way into the floor tub. Note: Do not use the seat anchors as cargo tie downs. Note: Do not use the third row seatback as a load floor when the seatback is folded. Sharp objects may result in damage to seat upholstery. Note: In order to allow the seat to latch in the stowed position, do not stow objects under the seat before stowing. 163 2012 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
