- NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag sensor under the seat disconnect the sensor before installing the vehicle base. (If unsure contact your local car dealer.) The video shown is for installation reference and may show additional or less parts than your vehicle base (RAM stabilizer foot that attaches to the base/lower tele-pole as shown in the video). Simply follow the video without installing these components if your vehicle base does not include these parts. Your vehicle base may connect to the seat track bolts differently than shown in the video.
