Seating and Safety Restraints Auxiliary Safety Restraint System for the Second Row Bench Seat (7 passenger vehicle) There is a unique safety restraint system for the outside seating position of the second row bench seat. It is very important that you read and understand this section before anyone rides in the outside seating position (near the sliding door) of the two-passenger bench seat. The two-passenger bench seat in the second row has a safety restraint system made up of two buckles and two tongues. There is an anchor location at the bottom of the C-pillar and another anchor location at the top of the C-pillar that attach each end of the seat belt webbing to the bodyside. One of the seat belt tongues has two "windows" (or holes) and the other has only one "window." The seat belt tongue with one window attaches to the buckle mounted to the side of the seat. The seat belt tongue with two windows should be pulled across the passenger's chest and fastened to the buckle mounted in the middle of the seat. 139
