If a considerable amount of cargo area
room is needed, the seat cushion of the
three-passenger sliding bench seat can be
flipped up and the seat can be moved up to
storage position #2, just behind the second
row seat.When maximum cargo area is needed and
there are no rear seat passengers, the
second row seat can be removed and the
three-passenger sliding bench seat can be
moved up to storage position #1, just behind
the front seats.The second row bench seat can be folded
down to serve as a tabletop for passengers
sitting in the three-passenger bench seat.

With the third seat folded down and the
second seat removed, cargo can be placed
in between the front seats and the third row
seat.People should not be allowed to
ride in areas meant for cargo. Passen-
gers should always be properly re-
strained in seat belts.The second row seat can be folded down
and the third row seat can be moved just
behind it in a storage position.WITH SECOND ROW BUCKET
SEATS
The normal seating arrangement for seven
passengers is with the three-passenger
bench seat in seating position #1. This
provides more leg room for the passengers
sitting in the third row.

When one passenger in the three-
passenger bench seat would like more leg
room, one of the second row bucket seats
can be removed.When more cargo area room is necessary,
the three-passenger sliding bench seat can
be moved to seating position #2. This seat-
ing arrangement provides less leg room for
third row passengers, but more cargo area
room.If passengers in the three-passenger bench
seat would like more leg room, both second
row bucket seats can be removed.The
floor area should never be used by pas-
sengers. Passengers should always be
properly restrained by seat belts.
