Second Row Safety Belt Stowage If your vehicle has seats in the third row, there is a sleeve on the second row outside safety belt to store the safety belt while entering and exiting the third row of the vehicle. If your vehicle has a bench seat in the second row, follow this procedure: Pull the belt out and slide the sleeve along the belt until it reaches the patch of Velcro@on the roof. Simply press the sleeve against the Velcro patch to secure it in place. Dump and Stow Feature The rear seats in your vehicle, except the Captain's chairs, can be folded forward. Use this feature for exiting and entering third row seats. Push adjustable head restraints fully down. Fold the seatback flat on the seat.If the seat adjusts, slide it all the way back. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins; hang on to the straps as the seat folds forward. Do not have the second row outside safety belt stored if someone is sitting in the second row outside position. The safety belt would not protectthe passenger correctly. To release the second row outsidesafety belt, just pull the sleeve away from the Velcro patch and use the safety belt as usual. The sleeve should slide freelywhen not in use. ~ n e r e also a clip on the safety belt used to secure the is belt after it is disconnected from the mini-buckle. When removing the second row bench seat, secure the loose end of the safety belt in this clip. This will keep the safety belt from dangling and possible striking something. 1-7
