Subaru Forester: Rear seat adjustment / Walk-in seat (2nd row seat)

The walk-in feature provides easier access to the third-row seating area of the Kia Telluride.

To enter or exit the third-row seat:

  1. Route the seat belt webbing through the second-row seat belt guide clip. Insert the belt correctly and remove any slack by pulling the webbing upward.

    The second-row seat can also be released by pulling the emergency strap located beneath the seatback. A label attached to the strap identifies its location for easier access.

    WARNING

    Never operate the walk-in switch or release strap while the Kia Telluride is moving or while someone is seated in the second-row seat. Sudden seat movement could result in serious injury.

    Once released, the second-row seatback folds forward and the seat automatically slides to its forward-most position, providing easier access to the third row.

  3. After entering or exiting the third-row seating area, return the second-row seat to its rearmost position whenever appropriate and pull the seatback firmly rearward until it clicks securely into place.

    WARNING

    Do not pull the emergency release strap while the second-row seats are occupied.

    Unexpected seat movement may cause injury. The emergency strap should only be used if the normal folding switch located on the upper seatback or outer side of the second-row seat does not operate correctly.
