Installing the Third Row Seat
{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.
{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 installing the seat, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are properly routed
and attached, and are not twisted.
Do not put the third row seat in so it faces rearward
because it will not latch that way. The seat has to go in
before the convenience center. See Convenience
Center on page 2-53 for more information.
For ease of installing the seat, put the seat in the folded
position before beginning this procedure.
1. From the rear of the vehicle, 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
approximately 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) from the floor
so the front hooks clear the rear floor pins and
rear floor cups. Use the release handle to guide the
seat into place.
If the front hooks are not attached correctly,
the rear latches will not attach to the rear set of
floor pins.
2. Firmly push the rear latches into the rear floor pins
by pushing down on the rear of the seat.
