{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 has to go in before the convenience center. See Convenience Center on page 2-56for more information.

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.

2.Firmly push the rear latches into the rear floor pins by pushing down on the rear of the seat.

3.Try to raise the seat to make sure that it is locked down. The indicator pins will no longer stick out when the seat is properly latched into place.

{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 push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

4.Return the seatback to its upright position. See “Returning the Seatback to an Upright Position” earlier in this section.
