2025 Tank 500 Third-Row Power Folding: Identify the Seat Row and the Failed Action
Distinguish MY25 Tank 500 Luxury third-row power folding from second-row adjustment before identifying seat repair parts.
The third row does not fold away as expected for bulky luggage, but the job card says “rear power seat will not adjust”. The Mexican 2025 Tank 500 Luxury factory sheet specifically lists third-row power folding. Identifying the row and action first helps keep the investigation from being directed to second-row adjustment parts.
Folding and seating-position adjustment are separate fields
The technical sheet separately lists second-row manual four-way adjustment, second-row 60/40 manual folding and third-row power folding. [T06] These describe functions on different rows. They do not mean all rows have powered adjustment, and powered folding does not establish third-row powered fore-and-aft sliding.
Record the affected seat side, visible obstructions, the stage where movement stops and any messages. Observation and photos are sufficient for this record; do not force the seat or bypass operating conditions to confirm the symptom.
Power folding does not provide a parts breakdown
The sheet does not define separate supply of folding motors, latches or switches, or whether both sides share components. On-site diagnosis and relevant repair information must establish which supply level needs replacement. An incomplete action alone does not justify ordering an entire row or a guessed motor. [To be verified]
