When reinstalling a rear seat in your vehicle it must be placed in
its original position. Improper installation of the seat will prevent
correct use of the safety belts and could increase the risk of injury.
Refer to the warning label on the seat belt.
Before installing your third row seat,
ensure that the detachable anchor
tongues are stowed into the floor
and the loose belts are stored out of
the way. For proper latching, ensure
that the floor tubs are clear of
debris.
From the rear of the vehicle, with
the liftgate open:
1. With assistance, lift the seat into the rear of the vehicle and position
front rollers onto the track. By rolling the seat forward, guide the seat
positioners over the front pins of the floor tubs.
2. Guide the positioners around each pin and lower the seat.
•
When the rear of the seat is 10–13 cm (4–5 in) above the rear pins,
let the seat drop. This will ensure that the seat will properly latch into
the floor.
3. Locate the seat belt anchor tongue in the plastic housing on the floor.
4. Disconnect the detachable anchor from its stowage location and
connect it to the anchor tongue (making sure that the label on the
detachable anchor is pointing toward the outside of the vehicle (left
side) and that the belts are not twisted or jammed).
5. Insert the seat detachable anchor into detachable anchor tongue until
you hear a “click” and feel the latch engage.
6. Push up on the seat to verify that it is latched into the floor.
7. Verify that the safety belts can move freely on either side of the seat.
