Kia Telluride: 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:

    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.

Checking the engine oil level Engine oil plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly—it lubricates moving internal components, reduces friction, cools critical parts, and operates various hydraulic systems inside the powertrain. Because a natural degree of engine oil consumption occurs during normal driving, checking and refilling the lubricant level on a routine basis is essential.
