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. Beware of trapping fingers when raising and lowering a third-row seat. Failure to do so creates a risk of entrapment and serious injury.

The second-row center 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.
Before folding or raising a rear seat, make sure the rear seat belts are fully retracted and positioned against their respective D pillars.
Before reclining the second-row seats, make sure they are positioned fully rearward. Moving the second-row seats fully rearward reduces the potential of a clash with the front seats. In the event of a crash, the front seats move forward. Use the front seat controls to return the front seats to their original positions. See ELECTRIC FRONT SEATS. To recline the second-row seats, move the switch on the side of the seat backward. Release the switch when the seatback is in the required position.

From inside the vehicle, pull the switch (1) to lower the right-side head restraint. Continue to pull the switch (1) to lower the third-row seatback. To raise the seatback, push and release the switch (1). When the seatback is in the fully raised position, manually raise the head restraint into position. Use switch (2) in the same way to move the left-side seat. From inside the loadspace, push the switch (1) to lower the right-side head restraint. Continue to push the switch (1) to lower the third-row seatback. To raise the seatback, pull and release the switch (1).
