Installing the Third Row Seats 1. Before installing the seat the seatback must be folded forward. See "Folding the Seatback" earlier in this section. The seats must be placed in the proper locations for the legs to attach correctly. The wider seat must be installed on the driver side and the narrower seat on the passenger side. Remove the bolts from the holes in the floor before installing the seats. 2. Place the seat on the vehicle floor so that the front seat hooks are on the vehicle bars. 3. Reinstall the bolts, and torque to 55 Y (41 lb ft). Pull up on the seat to make sure it is locked in place. 4. Raise the seatback to its upright position. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked into place. 5. Push the headrest up into position. Push and pull on the headrest to make sure it is locked into place. 6. Reconnect the center safety belt mini-latch to the mini-buckle. Do not let it twist. Safety Belts Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. {CAUTION: Do not let anyone ride where he or she cannot wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and you are not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things inside the vehicle harder or be ejected from it and be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passenger(s) are restrained properly too. 1-16
