Replacing the Stowable Seat Do not put the stowable seat in so it faces rearward because it will not latch that way. The stowable seat has to go in before the convenience center. See "Convenience Center" in the Index for more information. The stowable seat has seat position labels, located on the back of the seat, showing where the seat must go. Follow the floor pin diagram. Use the front floor pins of the floor cups and the rear floor cups in the third row. Use the G, H, I, and J sets of floor cups. See "Rear Seats" in the beginning of this section for more information. The seat must be placed in the proper location for the legs to attach correctly. Make sure the seat is in its upright position before beginning this procedure. 1. Place the front hooks of the seat onto the front floor pins in the third row. To do this, the seat will need to be angled so the front hooks clear the floor pins. If the front legs are not attached correctly, the rear legs will not attach to the rear set of floor pins. 2. Firmly push the rear hooks into the rear floor pins by pushing down on the rear of the seat. 3. Try to raise the seat to make sure that it is locked down. 4. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked into place. CAUTION: A seat that isn't locked into place properly can move around in a collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock the seat into place properly when installing it. CAUTION: If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is locked. 1-26
