Bucket seats

To remove the seat(s):

Position the seatback in the full down position to make removing the
seat easier.

1. From behind the seat, pull
straight back on the release controls
located on each side of the seat,
releasing the rear floor latches.

2. Lift up the back of the seat by the release controls to clear the floor
latches and then pull the seat rearward until the front hooks have come
out of the floor tubs.

3. Remove the seat.

4. Repeat steps 1 –3 for other bucket seat.

To install the seat(s):

Before installing the bucket seats, be sure that the seats are on the
correct side of the vehicle. They cannot be interchanged from one side
to the other. Each seat base has a bracket on the outboard side that
extends into a depression on the floor to ensure proper seat location.
Always be sure that the seat is positioned so that the seat belt buckle is
near the center aisle of the vehicle.

1. Position the seat in the vehicle.

2. Align seat front hooks to front tub pins, lower back of seat into the
rear tubs until both release controls latch into place. Be sure that the
seat is locked in place both front and back.

Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat is
occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may cause injury

during a sudden stop.
