Removal and re-fitment of the center seat can result in serious personal injury. Extreme caution must be taken while removing and refitting it.

The center seat is made up of the seat and the seat base. It is recommended to remove the seat from the base first and then remove the base from the van. It is more convenient to work from behind the seat.
