Find a clear and clean area to lay removed rear seat cushion to avoid getting dirt on or damaging it.

1. Record preset radio stations.

Seat Anchor locations depending upon applicability (with or without seat table).

Remove the seat cushion





4. Disengage the backrest hook (A) by pushing it back while lifting the front side of the seat cushion. Perform the same procedure on the opposite side. Remove seat cushion from vehicle.

Caution:
If the cushion anchor hooks (either two or three, see drawings above) on the vehicle body side are disengaged (remain on the seat cushion) when removing the rear seat cushion, always replace with new cushion anchor hooks to prevent any reduction in the retention force.

Note:
Make sure to note the orientation of the seatbelts prior to removal.





The center seatbelt with "Key Slot Release" requires replacement.
The center seatbelt buckle marked "Center" requires replacement.





Note:
Make sure to note the location of the seatbelt brackets.

5. Unwrap the Velcro strap and remove the bolt to remove the seatbelts. Perform the same procedure on the opposite side.





6. Separate seatbelt brackets by removing bolt and washer. Discard bolt and washer.

7. Reassemble both belt assemblies using new inner belt and bolt in the same orientation as original. Note: Washer is not required.

Caution:
Make sure new belt bracket is on the bottom.





8. Reinstall assemblies into vehicle and torque to spec. 30 N-m (3.06 kgf-m, 22.1 ft-lb)

Note:
The replacement belts will be shorter than the original belts. This is intentional. Always use matched belt sets. Do not intermix original and campaign belts





9. Reinstall the seat cushion. To facilitate positioning of the seatbelts in the cushion, connect all of the seatbelts. The next step will require an assistant. With each person holding the left and right seatbelts respectively, slide the cushion into place while pulling the belt buckles into position in the seat cushion opening.





This page should clarify two areas of the Campaign and does not represent any change in procedure. The first clarification is the length of the recall belt. By design, the recall replacement belt is shorter than the original belt.





The second clarification is the final buckle/ latch orientation for the center belt. The red latch release button must face away from the seating position it services. Access to the red latch release button must not be blocked by the belt when it is latched in place for use.





10. Disconnect the belts and position the buckles as shown.
