vehicle it must be placed in its original
position. Improper installation of the seat
will prevent correct use of the safety belts
and could increase the risk of injury.
Refer to the warning label on the seat
belt.

4. Ensure that the latch handles are fully seated
in the down position.

is not twisted. A twisted safety belt may
cause the retractor to work improperly.
Remove any twist, then insert the tongue
end of the detachable anchor into the
detachable anchor until you hear a ªsnapº
and feel the latch engage. Refer to the
previous illustration.

To fold down the rear seatback:
[FV35801(ALL)07/92]
To lower the rear seatback down to its cargo or
bed position, release the seatback latch by
moving the release lever forward for the bench
seat or upward for the seat bed. Then fold the
seatback down. The latch will re-engage in the
cargo position.
[FV35901(ALL)08/95]
To raise the seatback, release the seatback latch
and rotate the seatback upwards until the latch
re-engages. (A slight downward pressure on the
bench seat seatback will reduce effort on the
latch.)
