If your vehicle has a third row seat, it is a power folding seat.
The head rests need to be removed before folding the third row seat. See Head Restraints for instructions for removing the third row seat head rests. The seatback will not fold all of the way down if the head rests are not removed.
Inside Liftgate
The buttons that are used to operate the power folding third row seat are located inside of the liftgate and behind the second row seat on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
Two buttons are located inside the liftgate. One button is to tilt the seatback forward for added storage space or when storing a flat tire. The other button is the power folding seat button. The button behind the second row seat is also a power folding seat button. Use either of these to fold the third row seat into a flat floor.
Before folding or unfolding the third row seat, all of the following conditions must be met:
| • | The liftgate or passenger's side rear door must be open. |
| • | The unlock button on either the remote keyless entry transmitter or the door must be pressed three times to enable the rear seat for two minutes, or the ignition must be in ON or ACCESSORY. |
| • | The vehicle must be in PARK (P). |
| • | The vehicle cannot have a low battery. |
To fold the seat press one of the power folding seat buttons. After the seat has folded, the panel on the seat must be folded forward to create the flat floor.
If the seat's path is blocked it will stop and back away. Press the button again to return the seat to its previous position.
Before returning the third row seat to the passenger seating position, the panel must be folded back upon itself. Press one of the power folding seat buttons and the seat will unfold into the seating position.
