Seating - Power-Fold: Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The third row power fold seat features a one-touch operation that can adjust the LH and RH seats independently or combined into a NORMAL, STOW or FOLD position with a single activation of the seat control switch. The third row power fold seat also includes obstacle detection that allows the seat to stop and reverse direction if it hits an obstacle so that the obstacle can be removed.

The seat control switch is located behind the third row seat on the LH quarter trim panel. The third row power fold seat only operates when the vehicle is in park and the liftgate is open. The folding head restraints must be manually returned to the upright position. Power to the seat will time-out after 10 minutes but can be enabled by opening any door, turning the ignition on, pressing any keyless entry keypad button or the unlock button on the key fob.
