Kia Telluride: Rear seat adjustment / Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks of the Kia Telluride can be folded to accommodate longer cargo or to significantly increase available luggage space when additional passenger seating is not required.
WARNING
Folded Seatback
Never use a folded rear seatback as a passenger seating position. The fold-down feature is intended exclusively for transporting longer or bulkier cargo.
-
Passengers must never ride on folded seatbacks while the vehicle is moving. Seat belts and occupant protection systems cannot provide proper protection in this position.
-
To minimize the risk of injury caused by shifting cargo, do not allow items placed on folded seatbacks to extend above the height of the front seatbacks.
-
Place the rear seat belt buckle into the storage pocket located between the rear seat cushion and seatback, then insert the seat belt webbing into the guide to help prevent damage while folding the seats.
