-
Slide the seat to the position you desire.
-
Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in place.
Adjust the seat before driving, and make sure the seat is locked securely by trying to move forward and backward without using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not locked properly.

-
When you press the folding switch (1) in the upper part of the 2ndrow seatback or the folding switch (2) in the outer part of the seat, the seatback is folded while the seat slightly moves forward. If necessary, move the 2nd-row seat forward by using the forward/backward position control lever.
-
For your safety, hold the seat when you get in/out of the vehicle.
-
After you sit down on or get up from the 3rd-row seat, adjust the position of the 2nd-row seat and set the seatback straight.
Never attempt to adjust while the vehicle is moving or the 2nd row seat is occupied as the seat may suddenly move and cause the passenger on the seat to be injured.
Seat back angle(3rd row seat)
You can adjust the angle of the seatback by pulling the strap on the left / right side of the 3rd row seat.
After adjusting the angle, raise the headrest to make sure that the passenger's head is not placed above the headrest.
Armrest
-
For 7 seats
The 2nd row seats have the armrest located on the side of seatback.
To use the armrest, swing down the armrest to the lowest position.
Then, adjust the armrest to the desired position while raising it.
When adjusting the position, the operating sound will be heard. This indicates normal operation, not malfunction.
-
For 8 seats
To use the armrest, pull it forward from the seatback.
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects that could not be accommodated in the cargo area.
Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback while the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.
When folding the seatback, be sure to hold the seatback or headrest with your hands.
When folding or unfolding a rear seat, make sure to lower the seat's headrest as much as possible and put the seatback of the seat in front of the rear seat in the upright position.
If there is any interference when folding or unfolding the seat, the interfered area of the seat may be damaged.
-
Insert the rear seat belt buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion, and insert the rear seat belt webbing in the guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged.
-
Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the front seat forward.
-
Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position.
When the seats in the 2nd-row are folded to use the area as a cargo compartment, be sure to turn off the seat heater (if equipped).
-
Pull on the seatback folding lever (for 2nd row) or strap (for 3rd row), then fold the seat toward the front of the vehicle. When you return the seatback to its upright position, always be sure it has locked into position by pushing on the top of the seatback.
-
To use the rear seat, lift and pull the seatback backward by pulling on the folding lever (for 2nd row) or strap (for 3rd row).
Pull the seatback firmly until it clicks into place.
Make sure the seatback is locked in place.
-
Return the rear seat belt to the proper position.
2nd row seat folding
This feature allows you to fold seats in the 2nd row while the tailgate is open.
-
Press the folding switch (1) of the seatback located on the left and right sides of the tailgate.
L: Folding the left seat in the 2nd-row
R: Folding the right seat in the 2ndrow
-
You can use additional space by folding the seatback forward.
-
If the seatback is not fully folded, fold down the seatback again to make it completely folded.
Rear seat folding
Do not fold the rear seats (2nd & 3rd row seats), if passengers, pets or luggage are in the rear seats.
It may cause injury or damage to passengers, pets, luggage.
-
If the folding switch (1 or 2) in the 2nd row (in the upper part of the 2nd-row seatback or the outer part of the seat) does not work, pull the strap (3) on the bottom left of the seat in the 2nd row. It works just like the folding switch and you can move the seat forward along with the seatback.
-
Do not pull the strap (3) when the 2nd-row seat(s) is/are occupied. Sudden movement of the seat(s) may result in injury. Use the strap only when the folding switch in the 2nd row (in the upper part of the second-row seatback or the outer part of the seat) does not work.
This strap (3) is for 3rd row passengers to go out even when the vehicle's power is in run-out emergency condition in an accident.
Never attempt to adjust using the 2nd row seat walk-in switch or strap while the vehicle is moving or seat is occupied as the seat may suddenly move and cause the passenger on the seat to be injured.
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. If the seatback is returned without holding it, the back of the seat could spring forward resulting in injury caused by being struck by the seatback.
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seatback, insert the buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion. Doing so can prevent the buckle from being damaged by the rear seatback.
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seatbacks to the upright position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts to their proper position. Routing the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides will help keep the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats.
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from being thrown about the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects in the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit the front seat occupants in a collision.
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the automatic transmission is in P (Park) and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever is inadvertently moved to another position.
Rear seat headrests (2nd, 3rd row rear seat)
The rear seat(s) is equipped with headrests in all the seating positions for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, but also helps protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.
-
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is at the same height of the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.
-
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries when properly adjusted.
When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the headrest to the lowest position. The rear seat headrest can reduce the visibility of the rear area.
Adjusting the height up and down (2nd row seat and 3rd row center seat)
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1). To lower the headrest, push and hold the release button (2) on the headrest support and lower the headrest to the desired position (3).
Removal (2nd and 3rd row seat)
To remove the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then press the release button (1) while pulling the headrest up (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the headrest poles (3) into the holes while pressing the release button (1). Then adjust it to the appropriate height.
Make sure the headrest locks in position after adjusting it to properly protect the occupants.
3rd row headrest folding (except for center)
The headrest will fold down automatically when folding the seatback.
-
To fold the headrest manually : Pull the strap.
-
To unfold the headrest : Raise the headrest manually.
Always be sure the headrest has locked into position after you return the seatback.
If the tailgate is pushed down to close it when a passenger's head is not against a properly adjusted headrest or a tall person is seated, the tailgate may hit the occupant's head, which could cause injury.
