Third-row access can feel like a hassle—until you use the walk-in seat feature. The video we analyzed breaks down this intuitive tool step by step, making it easy for anyone to master.

Preparing the Second Row Seat
First, secure the seatbelt to avoid tangling during movement. Route the second row seatbelt webbing through the rear seatbelt holder and clip it in place. Then tighten the belt by pulling it up—this prevents the webbing from getting caught when the seat moves. Skipping this step is a common pitfall, so don’t overlook it.
Activating the Walk-In Feature
Next, press one of the two walk-in buttons. One button is on the top of the second row seat back; the other is on the side of the seat bottom. Pressing either will fold the seat back forward and slide the entire seat to its farthest forward position. The video notes even children can operate this, a sign of thoughtful design.
Reverting the Seat to Its Original Position
After passengers enter or exit the third row, adjust the seat back. Slide the second row seat to its farthest rearward position. Then push or pull the seat back firmly until you hear a click—this confirms it’s locked in place. Always double-check the lock to ensure passenger safety.

What to Do If Buttons Don’t Work
If the walk-in buttons fail, use the alternative strap. Pull the strap located on the lower left side of the seat. This manual method lets you move the seat forward even if electronic buttons aren’t functioning. It’s a critical backup for unexpected issues.
Pro Tips for Smooth Usage
- Teach kids to use the feature safely: Show them the buttons and remind them to wait until the seat stops moving before entering.
- Keep the seatbelt holder clean: Dirt or debris can block the webbing, so wipe it down regularly.
- Check the seat lock every time: A loose seat is dangerous during drives, so always listen for the click.
