2023 Ford Expedition Owners Manual - Accessing the Third Row Seats (If Equipped)

Accessing the Third Row Seats (If Equipped)

WARNING:  Make sure that the seats and the seat backrests are secure and fully locked. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in a sudden stop or crash.    WARNING:  Check under the seat cushion to make sure no cargo or objects are under the seat cushion before returning the seat cushion to its original position, and that the seat cushion locks into place. Failure to do so may prevent the seat from operating properly in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of serious injury.    WARNING:  Do not place cargo or any objects behind the seat backrest before returning it to the original position. Pull on the seat backrest to make sure that it has fully latched after returning the seat backrest to its original position. An unlatched seat may become dangerous if you stop suddenly or have a crash.

Note:   You can move the outermost seats forward to allow access to the third row seats.

This feature allows for easier entry and exit to and from the third row seat.

1. Pull the lever on the top of the seat backrest up.

1. Tilt the entire seat forward.

1. Slide the seat forward until it stops.

To return the seat to the seating position, slide the seat rearward while pulling down on the seat backrest until the latch fully engages.

To move the seat further back, pull the lever under the front of the seat and slide it backward.

Note:   You must move the seat to the full forward position before you move it rearward. Otherwise, the seat may not slide properly rearward.

Note:   You can slide the outermost seats forward when using a child restraint.

Adjusting the Second Row Outermost Seats for Easy Exit

When exiting your vehicle from the third row seats, pull the lever up on the upper corner of the outermost seats. Then, push the seat forward until it stops.
