178 Seats Note: Make sure that there are no objects such as books, purses or brief cases on the load floor before unstowing the seat. Failure to remove all objects from the top of the load floor prior to unstowing it may cause damage to the seat. 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. Sharp objects may result in damage to the seat upholstery and improper seat function. Note: In the unlikely event that the third row power seat stops prematurely, or travels to an unexpected position, press the FOLD button (C) 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 the third row seat can rapidly tip back to the forward position, all of which may result in serious injury. Closing the Liftgate WARNING: To avoid injury to third row occupants when closing the liftgate, make sure that the head of any occupant is not in the path of the closing liftgate. 2013 Flex (471) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, December 2012 USA (fus)
