- Follow these steps to lower a flipped up and stored third row bench for use.
- Release the rotational lock by turning it counter clockwise as shown in figure 1.
- Depress the secondary latching lock as shown in figure 2.
- Lower the bench by simply folding it down. It may be required to hold the latch release shown in figure 2 briefly so it does not re-engage as the seat is being lowered.
- Once in the lowered position, press down on the outermost side of the bench to engage the latch beneath the seating surface that will hold the seat in the lowered position. (figure 4).
- Raise the seatback by depressing the red handle at the rear of the seat and lifting the seatback into position. (figures 5, 6 and 7)
- For storing the third row bench seat the process is similar to reversing the earlier steps used to lower the bench with the following exceptions.
- While in the down position, depress the red handle at the rear of the bench and lower the seatback into its locked position.
- Depress the latch under the bench seat that locks it in its lowered position.
- Raise the bench into its stored position. It may be required to briefly hold the latch depressed in step 9 to avoid it re-engaging as the seat is raised.
- Once the bench is in its raised position, confirm that the latch shown in figure 2 on the previous page is engaged and holding the bench in its upright position.
- Push on the highest point of the bench while in its stored position and close the rotational lock shown in figure 1 by rotating the safety lock clockwise.
- For safety reasons, both of the storage locking mechanisms must be engaged to ensure the bench seat remains in its stored orientation. Failure to secure the bench with both locking mechanisms may result in personal injuries.
