To remove a third row seat:

1. Remove the cargo management system, if available and installed. See Cargo Management System on page 4‑4.

2. Remove anything on or under 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. Fold the seatback down.

See “Folding the Seatback” earlier in this section.

4. Remove the rear bolts on the floor on each side of the seat.

5. Remove the seat by tilting it slightly upward, and then pulling it out of the rear of the vehicle in one motion.

6. Replace the bolts in the floor holes for storage.
