First identify which seat fits which position by verifying that the seat belt buckles point to the center (inboard) of the vehicle. 2. Align the clamps on the front underside of the seat with the forward loop anchors on the floor and support the seat so that it doesn't fall (the rear portion of the seat cannot be mounted first). The clamps on the front of the seat automatically lock into the floor loop anchors after lowering the seat. Clamp 4. Raise the reclining lever and lift the seatback upright. Attempt to move the seatback forward and backward to make sure it is locked. 5. Buckle the seat belts once just to confirm the seat belt buckles are inboard which means each seat is on the correct side of the vehicle.

After installing the seat, push it forward and backward to make sure it is securely locked. Loops CAUTION Do not move the side seat-slide lever with the seat removed. The lever could be damaged resulting in loss of functionality. 2-16 Form No. 8R21-EA-02G
