Installing the 50/50 Split Bench Seat(s)
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a crash. The person
wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
After raising the rear seatback, always check
to be sure that the safety belts are properly
routed and attached, and are not twisted.
To install the seat, do the following:
1. Open the liftgate to access the rear of the vehicle.
2. While holding the rear of the seat up, slide the
front wheels into the slots on the floor. The front
latches should lock into place. If the latches do not
lock, try tilting the rear of the seat upward.
3. Once the latches are engaged, let the seat drop
into place.
{CAUTION:
A seat that is not 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.
4. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked
into place. The seatback cannot be raised to the
upright position unless the seat is secured to
the floor.
5. Pull up on the release lever labeled 1, located on
the rear of the seatback. Then pull up on either the
seatback or the assist strap, located on the
outboard side of the seat, until the seatback locks
into the upright position.
