Removable Rear Bucket Seats
SEAT-LOCATION
There are three types of rear bucket seats: RIGHT
ONLY, CENTER OR LEFT and LEFT ONLY. RIGHT
ONLY and
LEFT ONLY seats may be equipped with the
built-in child restraint option. The
rear bucket seats can be removed to provide extra
storage. Each seat that has the built-in child restraint
option fits in only one location in your vehicle, but seats
that don’t have the built-in child restraint option can be
moved to different floor locations. The back of each seat
has a diagram (similar to the one pictured) that shows
where the seat must be located in your vehicle.
RIGHT ONLY seats that don’t have the built-in child
restraint option fit only
in the right locations. LEFT
ONLY seats that don’t have the built-in child restraint
option fit only in the left locations. The CENTER OR
LEFT seat fits
in the center location and in either left
location.
RIGHT ONLY seats that have the built-in child restraint
option fit only
in the rear set of floor pins in the right
location of
the second row. LEFT ONLY seats that have
the built-in child restraint option fit only in the rear set
of floor pins in the left location of the second row.

Adjusting Rear Seats
Each rear seat location has two sets of floor pins. Seats
equipped with the built-in child restraint option must be secured in the rear set of floor pins. Seats that don't have
the built-in child restraint option can be secured in either
set of
floor pins. Move the position of these seats up or
back to provide a little more room behind or in front of a
seat.
