Adjusting the Second-Row Seats

The second-row seats can be adjusted using the seat-mounted switch and lever.

Warning: Always secure objects transported in the passenger compartment. In an impact or sudden maneuver, unsecured objects can become projectiles and cause death or serious injury.

Warning: Before adjusting a seat, check to see that the area around it is free of obstacles.

Position
Move the seat forward/backward
Backrest
Adjust the angle of the seatback by pulling the lever up and gently leaning back on the seat. Release the lever to lock the seatback in place.

Correct Seating Position of Second-Row Seats

The seat, head restraint, seat belt, and airbags work together to maximize safety. Using these features correctly provides greater protection in the event of a crash.

Warning: Seat belts are intended for use by adult-sized occupants. For children, see Guidelines for Seating Children.

To reduce the risk of injuries in an accident, follow these instructions:

Sit upright, place both feet on the floor, and make sure the seat back reclines no more than 30 degrees.
Fit the lap section of the seat belt tightly as low and snug as possible around the hips, not the waist.

Warning: When the seat is in the reclined position, the shoulder belt (for outboard seats) and lap belt do not provide proper protection in an accident. In a collision, with the seat reclined, you can slip past or under the seatbelt and suffer serious injury.

Second-Row Seat Folding

The split second-row seat allows you to fold the entire seat or part of it forward to increase the load-carrying area.

Note: Folding the second-row seats is only available when the seat is unoccupied and the vehicle is in P (Park).

The center seat is connected to the left outboard seat. Before folding down the seat, remove any items on the seat or in the footwell. When folding the center/left outboard seats, adjust the center head restraint to the lowest position. See Adjusting the Head Restraints.

The front seats may need to be moved forward to make room for the second-row seats to fold flat. If necessary, the front seats automatically move forward, and a notification is displayed on the Right Clearview Cockpit when the second-row seat folding process is initiated. While the front seats are moving, tap ABORT FOLDING FLAT in the Right Clearview Cockpit notification to stop both front seats from moving and cancel the second-row seat folding request. Once the second-row seats are folded, the front seats will return to their previous positions.

Note: In equipped vehicles, ensure the seatback tray table is in the stowed position before folding the second-row seats.

The second-row seat folding buttons are in the vehicle's liftgate. To fold down a second-row seat, press the corresponding button.

This will release the seat’s lower cushion to lay flat on the vehicle floor and the seatback to fold forward onto the seat cushion.

Raising

To return the seat to its upright position, first lift the seatback and push it back until it locks in place. Then lift the seat cushion and push it back to its original position until it locks in place. Make sure both the seat back and seat cushion are locked in place by trying to pull them forward.

Warning: When returning the seat back and seat cushion to their operational positions, make sure the locking mechanisms are fully engaged. If the locking mechanisms do not fully engage, the risk of death and serious injury increases in an accident or heavy braking.

Note: When returning the seat to its upright position, make sure the seat belts are not trapped behind the backrest.

Easy Entry

The second-row seats move forward to provide additional space for entering and exiting the third row.

Note: Easy Entry is only available when the second-row seats are unoccupied and the vehicle is in P (Park).

Press the Easy Entry button to automatically move the seat and seatback forward.

Note: In equipped vehicles, ensure the seatback tray table is in the stowed position before activating Easy Entry.

The front seats may need to be moved forward to allow adequate room for accessing the third-row seats. If necessary, the front seats automatically move forward, and a notification is displayed on the Right Clearview Cockpit when the Easy Entry feature is initiated. While the front seats are moving, tap STOP in the Right Cockpit notification to stop both front seats from moving and cancel the Easy Entry request.

To return the second-row seat to its original position, press the Easy Entry button to automatically move the seat back, and then lift the seatback to an upright position. Alternatively, you can push the seatback to an upright position, and the seat will automatically return to its original position.

Once the second-row seats are returned to an upright position, the front seats will return to their previous positions if they were moved forward to make room for the Easy Entry feature.

Seatback Tray Tables

In equipped vehicles, folding tray tables on the back of the front seats are available for second-row outboard seat passengers to use.

Warning: The seatback tray tables should only be used when the vehicle is not in motion. Use of the tray tables while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of serious injury or death in an accident or heavy braking.

CAUTION: Do not place more than 22 lbs / 10 kg on a seatback tray table as it may result in damage to the table and injury to the occupant.

To open the seatback tray table, unlock it by pressing the button below the USB-C port. Gripping the top of the table, pull it up and then tilt it towards yourself to a horizontal position.

CAUTION: Keep fingers away from the hinges when opening and closing the seatback tray tables.

To close the seatback tray table, tilt the table up and then push it down and back into its stored position. You should feel the table click into a locked position.

Second-Row Seat Heaters

The left and right outboard seats in the second row have integrated heaters.

Note: The second-row seat heaters are not available in all models/trims.

Select Seats to control seat heating using the Pilot Panel.

Tap BACK and then select the intended seating position by tapping on the left or right seat graphic.

Press to heat the desired seat.

You can heat the seats at three different levels:

Press once to operate at the highest level; three intensity indicators will illuminate.
Press twice to operate at the medium level; two intensity indicators will illuminate.
Press a third time to operate at the lowest level; a single intensity indicator will illuminate.
Press a fourth time to turn off the heater feature.
