Buick 2005 manual Replacing the Split Bench Seat

Replacing the Split Bench Seat

{CAUTION:

If the seatback is not 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.

{CAUTION:

A seat that is not locked 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 installing it.

{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.

Make sure that the seatback is in the folded forward position and that the safety belts are on the correct section of the seat.

Don’t put the sections of the bench seat in so that they face rearward because they won’t latch that way.

The split bench seat sections have seat position labels, located on the back of each section, showing where the section must go.

The seat must be placed in the proper location for the legs to attach correctly.
