Removing the Rear Seat Cushion
Notice:If you touch the exposed wires with
the metal on the seat cushion, you could cause a
short that could damage the battery and or
wires. Avoid contact between the rear seat and the
fuse center whenever you remove or reinstall
the rear seat. Do not remove covers from any of the
covered parts, and do not store anything under
the seats.
To remove the rear seat cushion, do the following:
1. Pull up on the front of the cushion to release the
front hooks.
2. Pull the cushion up and out toward the front of the
vehicle.To reinstall the rear seat cushion, do the following:
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that isn’t properly routed through
the seat cushion or is twisted won’t provide
the protection needed in a crash. If the safety
belt hasn’t been routed through the seat
cushion at all, it won’t be there to work for the
next passenger. The person sitting in that
position could be badly injured. After
reinstalling the seat cushion, always check to
be sure that the safety belts are properly
routed and are not twisted.
5-95

1. Buckle the center passenger position safety belt,
then route the safety belts through the proper slots
in the seat cushion. Don’t let the safety belts get
twisted.
2. Slide the rear of the cushion up and under the
seatback so the rear-locating guides hook into
the wire loops on the back frame.3. With the seat cushion lowered, push rearward and
then press down on the seat cushion until the
spring locks on both ends engage.
4. Check to make sure the safety belts are properly
routed and that no portion of any safety belt is
trapped under the seat. Also make sure the seat
cushion is secured.

The rear fuse block is
located beneath the rear
seat on the driver’s
