Remember to return the rear shoulder
belts to their proper position. Routing
the seat belt webbing through the rear
seat belt guides will help keep the belts
from being trapped behind or under
the seats.
WARNING - 2nd row cen-
ter seat folding
Do not fold the 2nd row center seat, if there are occupants in
the 3rd row seats, as this may
result in injury to occupants if
the seat moves during a colli-
sion. If occupants in the 3rd
row seats, fix the 2nd row cen-
ter seat in its upright and
