How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Park and remove the second-row center seat; lateral movement is available only with that seat removed.

  2. 02

    Stand beside the outboard seat and pull its lateral-slide handle on the outboard side.

  3. 03

    Keep the release operated while sliding the seat sideways toward the desired one of five stops.

  4. 04

    Release the handle at a stop, then push and pull the seat to confirm it is locked before anyone sits there.

  5. 05

    Use the separate fore-aft and seatback-recline adjustments as needed after the lateral position is locked.

Important limits

  • Move seats only while parked, keep hands and feet clear of the tracks, and verify the seat is locked before driving. Integrated seat belts do not remove the need to follow the child-restraint instructions and vehicle owner's manual.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the seat will not move sideways, confirm that the second-row center seat is fully removed.
  • ✓Clear objects from the floor tracks and pull the outboard lateral-release handle rather than the fore-aft adjustment.
  • ✓If it will not lock, move it slightly until it reaches one of the five defined stops, then release and rock-test it.
