Removing a Second Row Outer Seat

Follow the steps below to remove either of the second row outer seats:

  1. Remove the head restraint.
  2. Move the seat to its rearmost position.
  3. Pull the seat-back angle adjustment lever, then fold the seat-back forward.
  4. Pull the lock release lever, tilt the seat-back forward and lift the rear of the seat. To lift the seat, grab the handle under the rear side of the seat.
  5. Pivot the rear of the seat upward to unhook the front of the seat from the floor.
  6. Remove the seat.
To reinstall the seat: With the seat-back folded forward, insert the front seat hooks into the front floor strikers. After confirming both front hooks are fully inserted into the front strikers, begin to lower the seat, then allow it to drop and lock to the rear floor strikers.
Install the head restraints, then raise the seat-back to an upright position, then rock the seat back and forth to confirm both the inner and outer latches are securely locked into position.
