Bench Seat

[SS13800(ALL)01/96]
There is a unique safety restraint system for the outside seating
position of the second row bench seat. It is very important that
you read and understand this section before anyone rides in the
outside seating position (near the sliding door) of the
two-passenger bench seat.
[SS13900(ALL)12/95]
In addition to safety belt anchorages in the floor and roof
structures, the second row bench seat has a detachable safety
belt anchor mounted to the right window side of the seat. The
safety belt should always remain attached to this anchor except
when removing this seat.
[SS14000(ALL)12/95]
The second row passenger side outboard seating position uses a
hook above the sliding door to stow the shoulder safety belt
when entering or exiting the vehicle or when it is not being
used.
[SS14100(ALL)05/96]
NOTE: When the belt is stowed using the hook, DO NOT use
the hanging belt as an assist when entering the
vehicle.
