FOLDING AND RAISING THE SECOND ROW SEATS (ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT 110 5 SEAT VEHICLE):
The split-folding rear seatbacks can both be folded to accommodate large loads, or partially folded to accommodate large loads and still retain seating for passengers.
To fold a second row seatback:
- Push the button on the side of each head restraint. Fold the head restraints forward.
- Depending on the specification of your vehicle:
For 7 seat vehicles, pull the lever on the top of the seatback upward to release the locking mechanism.
For 5 seat vehicles, lift the lever on the side of the seat.
- Move the seatback forward until it is in the lowered position.
To raise a second row seatback:
- Lift the seatback until it firmly locks into the upright position.
- Raise the head restraints to the upright, locked position.
NOTES
For 5 seat vehicles, a red indicator is visible beside the release mechanism if either the rear or rear centre seatback is not fully locked into place.
WARNING
The vehicle must not be driven with the second-row seats in the access position. Vehicle motion could cause the seatback to fall forward suddenly, potentially causing injury.
WARNING
Make sure nothing is trapped beneath a seat when returning it from the access position. During an accident or sudden manoeuvre an unsecured seatback could cause an injury to the seat occupant.
WARNING
When the seat and seatback are returned from the access position, make sure the locking mechanisms are fully engaged. Physically test to make sure that the seat and seatback are secure before driving. During an accident or sudden manoeuvre an unsecured seatback could cause an injury to the seat occupant.
To access or exit the third row seats:
- Pull the lever on the top of the seatback upward to release the locking mechanism. Move the seatback forward into the tilt position.
- Pull the seat into the fully forward position.
FOLDING THE CENTRE SEATBACK
WARNING
Make sure that you have read and fully understood the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See REAR SEAT SAFETY.
NOTES
The second row centre seat belt incorporates a locking feature. The locking feature prevents the seat belt from being pulled out too far when the seatback is folded flat. To reset the feature, when returning the seatback to the upright position, extract the seat belt webbing until it stops. Return the seat belt webbing a small amount. The seat belt then operates as normal.
NOTES
Head restraints need to be removed to achieve the maximum cargo space. See HEAD RESTRAINTS SAFETY.
The centre rear seatback can be released separately. To release the centre rear seatback, press and hold the release button. Simultaneously fold the seatback forward.
To fold the centre seatback: Press the release button on the top of the seatback. Fold the centre seatback forward into the lowered position.
To raise the centre seatback: Lift the centre seatback until it firmly locks into the upright position.
NOTES
In an emergency, use the centre seatback to exit the third row seats.
NOTES
A latch hook is positioned beside the release catch to guide the seat belt away from the seat edge when lowering and raising the seatback.
FOLDING AND RAISING THE THIRD-ROW SEATS
WARNING
- Make sure that you have read and fully understood the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See REAR SEAT SAFETY.
- The head restraint must always be raised when using the third row seats. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain rearward movement of the head in a collision or sudden stop.
- Do not allow passengers to travel in the third row seats when the second row seats are in the folded or third row access position.
- Make sure the seat belts are correctly routed and not trapped behind the seats when raising the rear seatbacks. An incorrectly routed seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during a collision or sudden stop.
- Beware of trapping fingers when raising and lowering a third row seat. Failure to do so creates a risk of entrapment and serious injury.
- Take care when retrieving items that have fallen down the side, back, front or underneath the seat. Sharp objects may be present in these areas, which could present a risk of injury. Always stop the vehicle before retrieving items.
CAUTION
The seat is heavy, so care should be taken when raising the seat.
To raise a third row seat:
- From inside the loadspace, pull the strap on the rear of the seatback. Lift the seat into the raised position.
NOTES
Make sure the second row seats are not fully reclined. See FOLDING AND RAISING THE SECOND ROW SEATS.
- From inside the passenger compartment, lift the head restraint, until it locks in the upright position.
CAUTION
The seat is heavy, so care should be taken when lowering the seat.
