7. The seat is heavier than it looks, 

carefully pull up and detach the seat. 
Get assistance to lift it out of the 
vehicle.

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.

3. Supporting the seat with your hands, 

slowly lower the seat rearwards to lock 
it in place.

4. Raise the reclining lever and lift the 

seatback upright. Attempt to move the 
seatback forward and backward to 
make sure it is locked.

5. Buckle the seat belts once just to 

confirm the seat belt buckles are 
inboard which means each seat is on 
the correct side of the vehicle.

Unsecured Seat:
Driving with the seat unsecured is 
dangerous. The seat may become 
detached while the vehicle is moving 
causing serious injury. After 
installing the seat, push it forward 
and backward to make sure it is 
securely locked.

Do not move the side seat-slide lever 
with the seat removed. The lever could 
be damaged resulting in loss of 
functionality.
