DESCRIPTION
A power folding third row seat is available on some models. The seat configuration is that of a 60/40 split bench seat.
The power folding seat offers convenient one-touch operation. Pressing a button on the D-pillar switch once moves the power folding seat into the desired position, allowing the operator the freedom to walk away. The left and right seats can be folded individually or together as desired.
The power folding third row seat adjusts to the following positions using the switches in left-side D-pillar:
- Open seats to normal position
- Stow seats in floor
- Fold seatbacks flat
- Tilt seats for tailgate mode
Both seat backs can be adjusted individually for occupant comfort. This is accomplished with a field effect type recliner switch that is located in each outboard seat cushion cover.
The major components of the power folding third row seat are:
- The seat leg latch release actuator and cable assembly (1)
- The seat frame assembly (2)
- The stow motor assembly (3)
- The seat leg latch actuator position switches (4)
- The seat leg assemblies that include the latches and cable mounting hardware (5)
- The power folding third row seat control module (6)
