FOLDING AND RAISING THE SLIDING SEATS [G2260311]

WARNING:

When raising the rear seats, make sure that seat belts are correctly routed and not trapped behind the seats. An incorrectly routed seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during a collision or sudden stop.

The split-fold rear seats can be folded completely to accommodate large loads, or partially to accommodate large loads and still retain seating for passengers.

To fold a second row seatback:

  1. Make sure the belt buckle is correctly stored.
  2. Lift the lever on the side of the seat and pull the seatback forward until it locks into the lowered position.

To raise the rear seat: Lift the lever on the side of the seat. Lift the seatback until it firmly locks into the upright position. Before the seat is used by a passenger, make sure the head restraint is positioned correctly.

The second row seatbacks can be folded from inside the loadspace, or by the passengers occupying the third row seats:

  1. Pull back the switch on the right or left side, respectively, to release the seatback locking mechanism.
    NOTE:

    The switches only operate when the vehicle is stationary and the tailgate is open.

  2. Push forward on the unlocked seatback to lower it into the folded position.

To raise the rear seat: Lift the lever on the side of the seat. Raise the seatback until it firmly locks into the upright position. Before the seat is used by a passenger, make sure the head restraint is positioned correctly.

Second row seatback recline

Before reclining the seat: If the loadspace cover is fitted, either slide the seat forward or remove the loadspace cover.

To recline the second row seatback: Lift the side seat lever and push the seatback into the recline position.

To raise the second row seat back: Lift the lever on the side of the seat. Raise the seatback until it firmly locks into the upright position. Before the seat is used by a passenger, make sure the head restraint is positioned correctly.

Folding the second row center seatback

To fold the center seatback: Press the release button on the top of the seatback. Fold the center seatback forward into the lowered position.

To raise the center seatback: Raise the seatback until it firmly locks into the upright position. Before the seat is used by a passenger, make sure the head restraint is positioned correctly

NOTE:

The second row center seatbelt incorporates a locking feature to prevent the seatbelt from being pulled out too far when the seatback is folded flat. To reset this feature after folding the seat and returning the seat to the upright position, pull the belt twice. The seatbelt will then operate as normal.

Sliding a second row seat

To move a rear seat forwards or backward:

  1. Lift the bar at the front of the rear seat. Slide the rear seat into the required position.
