Seating and Safety Restraints
WARNING: Make sure safety belt buckle heads are through
elastic holders on seat backs. Safety belt buckles may break if
they are trapped underneath the seatback as the seatback is rotated
down.
WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original
position, reinstall the head restraints, and pull on the seatback to
ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may become
dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
3. Unsnap the safety belt webbing from the quarter trim panel.
4. Remove the second row head restraint from underneath the front seat
and reinstall. See Second row adjustable head restraints in this
chapter.
To remove the second row cushion
1. Lift the yellow tab to release the
hinges.
2. Pull the cushion to the outboard
side of the vehicle.
