If you decide to move the three-passenger bench seat forward to the second row position, passengers riding in the seat will use the second row safety belts. Installing the Two-Passenger Bench Seat To replace the bench seat in its original position: 1. Make sure the area around the floor anchor positions is free from obstruction. 2. With the seatback folded down, two people should lift the seat into the vehicle. 3. Place the seat slightly behind the floor anchor positions and catch the rear leg anchors into each anchor position. 4. Press down on the front of the seat to secure the front legs to the two floor latch locks. Place the seatback in the upright position. 5. Try to move the seat to be sure that it is securely fastened. 6. Always reattach the tongue into the auxiliary buckle mounted to the side of the seat. Labels have been provided on the side of the seat to remind you of important safety precautions. 7. Replace any floor mats that were removed. RWARNING Keep foreign objects out of the floor anchors. Objects in the floor anchors could prevent front and rear seat legs from engaging properly. RWARNING Before sitting in the removable seats, make sure that the seat legs are securely attached by the floor anchors. 184
