straps used to adjust, remove, and reinstall
the seats. By using the levers and straps in the
correct order, you can easily remove the seats
from the vehicle. If your vehicle has second row

be removed.
When reinstalling the seats, make sure the seats
are in the proper positions.

can be removed. SeeSecond Row Center
