To install the seat assembly:
*
[FV18400(ALL)10/90]1.
Clear the area of debris around the seat floor attachments.
[FV18500(ALL)03/94]2.
With the seatback in a folded and latched position (except
for bench seats equipped with built-in child safety seat),
place the seat assembly in your vehicle. Tip the seat
assembly forward and engage the front seat hooks onto the
forward attachment pins in the floor wells.
*
[FV18600(ALL)10/90]3.
Rotate the seat downward and engage the latch into the rear
floor attachment. Lifting of the latch handles is not required
for installation.
*
[FV18700(ALL)10/90]4.
Ensure that the latch handles are fully seated in the down
position.
[FV18800(ALL)12/93]5.
(Second row bench seat only) Before you engage the safety
belt, be sure it is not twisted. A twisted safety belt may
cause the retractor to not work properly. Remove any twist,
then insert the tongue end of the safety belt into the
detachable anchor until you hear a ªsnapº and feel the latch
engage.
[FV18820(ALL)03/94]6.

RWARNING
When reinstalling a rear seat in your vehicle it must be
placed in its original position. Improper installation of
the seat will prevent correct use of the safety belts and
could increase the risk of injury. Refer to the warning
label on the seat belt.
