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 install the seat facing the rear of the vehicle, as
it will not lock into place. If more storage room is
needed behind the seat, slide the seat forward.

beginning this procedure.To reinstall the bucket seats, do the following:

front hooks are not
attached correctly, the
seat’s rear hooks
will not attach to the
rear set of oor pins.
If the front hooks are not attaching correctly, check
