Removing the Third Row Seat
1. Remove the hideaway rear storage bins, if
equipped. See Hideaway Rear Storage Bins
on page 174 for more information.
2. Make sure all items are off the seat.
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause damage to the
seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle
the safety belts and return them to their normal
stowed position before folding a rear seat.
3. Put the seatback in its folded position before
removing the seat. See “Folding the Seatback”
previously.
4. From behind the seat, squeeze the release
handle until the pin indicators are fully out.
This indicates that the rear latches are
released from the floor. For ease of removing
the seat, squeeze the handle with the palm
of your hand up.
5. Lift the seat slightly from the floor to ensure
the latches are clear of the floor pins.
6. Pull the seat rearward and out of the vehicle.
The release handle can be used to carry
the seat.
