Power-fold Seats
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Sable, 2009 Ford Taurus X, and 2009 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The optional power-fold Taurus X seats have convenient power-fold seat control switches mounted in each rear quarter trim panel beside the seat backrest. When the power-fold seat control switch is depressed and held for a moment, an electro-mechanical motor releases that seat's recliners and latch feet, through a cable attachment. An assist spring in the backrest recliner folds the backrest to the fold-flat position and a spring assist strut folds the seat to the E-Z entry position. The seat must be manually returned to the seating position.
