2005 Mercury Mountaineer Owner Guide 3rd Printing - Page 113

Seating and Safety Restraints Note: If the seat back is "locked out" and cannot return to the upright position, repeat Step 2 and unlatch the seat from the floor. Repeat latching to the floor with a moderate amount of force and momentum. Your seats are equipped with an Interlock Safety Mechanism which will not allow the seats to return to a usable position if the seat is not fully latched to the floor! To exit the 3rd row seat, pull the red access control lever up releasing the seat from the floor and rotate the seat up towards the front seat. Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat is occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may cause injury during a sudden stop. 113 2005 Mountaineer (mnt) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
