Published availability and qualifications

Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Stop the Pathfinder on level ground, select Park and ensure nobody is seated in the second-row seat being moved.
- 02
From outside, press the one-touch button at the base of the second-row seat; from the third row, use the button on the rear of that seatback.
- 03
Allow the seatback to tip and the seat to slide forward, then enter or exit the third row.
- 04
Move the seat rearward and raise the seatback until both are securely locked.
- 05
Pull on the seat and seatback to verify they are latched before driving.
Important limits
- Never operate the one-touch seat while a child occupies a child restraint on that seat, even though the system is designed to move with an empty installed child seat.
- The release buttons operate only at very low speed; use them while fully stopped and preferably in Park.
- Do not drive with the second-row seat tipped, slid forward or not fully latched.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the button does not respond, stop completely, select Park and remove pressure or cargo from the moving seat.
- ✓If the seat will not slide, check the floor tracks and area behind the seat for objects.
- ✓If the seatback will not latch after return, move the seat through the full forward-and-back range and retry; do not drive until it locks.
