Unfolding the Seat Backrest

To return the second-row seat backrest to the original position, rotate the seat backrest up until it latches in the upright position. The seat backrest clicks when it is locked into position.

To return the third-row seat backrest to the original position, press the corresponding control again.

Note:   If the third row seat does not completely fold or unfold, press and hold the seat button until the seat folds and unfolds twice.

If the power rear seat is disabled after 10 minutes, you can enable the seat by:

  • Opening any door.
  • Pressing the unlock button on the key fob.
  • Pressing any keyless entry keypad button.
  • Switching the ignition on.

Folding Down the Rear Seats to the Load Floor

WARNING   WARNING:  To prevent possible damage to the seat or seatbelts, make sure that the seatbelts are not fastened before folding the seatback.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not place cargo or any objects behind the seatback before returning it to the original position.

The third-row seats have obstacle detection that prevents the seats from folding or returning if they are obstructed.
