Adjustable Rear Seating
[RR00900(ALL)04/94]
The removable and adjustable seats are a convenient feature of
your vehicle. Reading this chapter will help you learn about the
various ways the seats in your vehicle can be arranged to suit
your different needs.
[RR01000(ALL)05/96]
Your vehicle is a five or seven-passenger vehicle. As a
seven-passenger vehicle, it will have either a two-passenger
bench seat or two second-row bucket seats and the sliding
three-passenger bench seat in the third row. Read the section
that describes the type of second-row seat in your vehicle. To
make your vehicle a five-passenger vehicle, remove the
second-row seats.
[RR01100(ALL)01/93]
NOTE: When adjusting or moving any of the seats in your
vehicle, do not use any of the buckles, tongues, or
safety belt webbing to carry or move the seats. Lifting
the seats by any of the safety restraint equipment
could decrease their effectiveness.
[RR01200(ALL)04/94]
NOTE: Your vehicle has five different kinds of floor mats:
front seat mats, a cargo area mat, a sliding door area
mat, and second and third row passenger area mats.
Whenever you remove the mats to remove or adjust
any of the seats always remember that the mats must
be reinstalled before passengers ride in your vehicle.
The floor mats are specifically designed to keep
objects out of the seat tracks.
[RR01300(ALL)01/93]
RWARNING
It is important to replace the floor mats whenever they
are removed for any reason. The floor mats are intended
to help prevent the possibility that high-heeled shoes
might become stuck in the seat tracks. Failure to replace
the floor mats might result in personal injury.

Be sure to keep the seat tracks clear of debris by cleaning them
periodically.
[RR01900(ALL)04/95]
Vacuum any particles from the inside of the tracks where the
roller units are enclosed using a small crevice tool attached to a
high-powered vacuum. This will ensure that the sliding seat will
continue to slide properly during the life of your vehicle.
