To install the seat

1. 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.
