SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

  • If the slider lever is operated after removing the seat, the slider may move by the force of the spring which assists in the slide recoil and cause damage to parts. After removing the seat, operate the slider lever being careful of the slider.

  • Verify that there are no malfunctions in the forward/back slide of the seat and in the adjuster unit after installing a seat.

  • When performing the procedure with a seat removed from the vehicle, perform the procedure on a clean cloth so as not to damage or dirty the seat.
