Replacing the Split Bench Seat
If the seatback isn't locked,
it
could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it
is locked.
A seat that isn iocked into place properly can
move around in a collision or sudden stop.
People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure
to lock the seat into place properly when
I
installing
it.

A safety belt that is improperly routel
,
not
properly attached, or twisted won't 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.
Make sure the seatback is in the upright position and
the safety belts are on the correct section of the seat.
Don't put the sections of the bench seat in so they face
rearward because they won't latch that way.
The split bench seats have seat position labels, located
on the back of each seat, showing where the seat
must go. Follow that diagram.
