Installing The Third Row Seat - Pontiac Montana SV6 2008 Owner's Manual

5. Lift the seat slightly from the floor to ensure the
latches are clear of the floor pins.
6. Pull the seat rearward and out of the vehicle.
The release handle can be used to carry the seat.

Installing the Third Row Seat

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 needs
to be installed before the convenience center. See
Convenience Center on page 2-61 for more information.
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts
still fastened may cause damage to the seat or
the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts
and return them to their normal stowed position
before folding a rear seat.
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.
