type seat. Because it is the only bucket seat with a lap
belt, and has a buckle
on only one side, there are certain
places a CENTER

and should not, be used. See “Seats” in the Index. If the
CENTER OR LEFT bucket seat is used on the left side
of the vehicle, the person sitting there should use the
lap-shoulder belt. It works the same
way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position” in the Index.
