SEAT REMOVAL
To access the under-seat area, pull the rear edge of a seat upward to release
the latch pins from the grommets. Then roll the seat forward.
To completely remove a seat, roll the seat forward and lift the seat tabs from the
seat base mounts.
Always make sure all seats are properly installed and securely latched before
operating. Push down firmly on the rear of each seat until the latch pins are fully
seated into the grommets.
SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Failure to perform regular inspection can reduce the effectiveness of the seat
belt during a crash and could result in serious injury or death.
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle.
1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide
smoothly into the buckle. A click indicates that it's securely latched.
2. Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it
releases freely.
3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage,
including cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat
belt does not operate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or
replaced by an authorized dealer.
4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap
and water. Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents. Rinse the entire
length of the belt webbing. Use a garden hose to flush out the retractor and
latch housings regularly.
