Third Row Power-Fold Seat
THIRD ROW POWER-FOLD SEATCAUTION:
- To prevent possible damage to the third row seat or the safety belts, make sure that the safety belts are not fastened when moving the seat to the load floor position.
- Make sure that no objects such as books, purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the third row seats or on the seat cushion before lowering the backrest(s).
For the third row power-fold seat to operate, a shared voltage is supplied by the smart power distribution junction box (SPDJB) to both of the power-fold seat relays, enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing one of the third row power-fold seat switches. The third row power-fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate glass, liftgate door or any entry door must be open.
The third row power-fold seat motors transfer movement to a drive gear assembly to raise and lower the seat backrest. The power-fold seat motors rotate a short torque shaft which is connected to the drive gear assembly. The power-fold seat motor and bracket assembly is serviceable separately.
