Stowing 2007 Highlander's 3rd row seatbelts

Threaded View
I'm about to purchase a Certified 2007 Highlander Limited with the
third row seat. I'm going to rarely if ever use the 3rd row, so I'd
like to learn how to stow the seatbelts out of the way. Surprisingly,
my dealer didn't know how. We both saw what appeared to be a place
where the buckle should snap into on the right and left sides of the
vehicle, but we couldn't figure out how to do it. He's going to ask
the parts dept but I was hoping to get some help here.

Also... the vehicle surprisingly doesn't come with an owner's manual.
Is there a site to download one or order one?

Thanks..  I'm going from an 03 RX300 to an 07 Highlander Limited.

I have a 2007 Highlander Limited.  The seat belts stow up near the ceiling
on either side of the back hatch.  You pull them out and down to the buckle
in the seat.

Go here and buy a manual and download it.  I did.  In PDF and inexpensive.

Why would you pay for the manual, when you can register with Toyota and get
the PDF version for free? See:

You sure?  I do not see anything that says Free.  Did you register and find
out.  My manual cost me $18 to download and no need to register which likely
means a lifetime of SPAM.

$18!!!!!!!!!!! That is highway robebry.

Yes if you register, Toyota gives away the downloadwed manual. I did it for
my Mother's Higlander. I've never gotten any spam. Ford (and others) don't
even you require you to register to download their owner's guides.

OK.  I decided to register.  I have a totalled Toyota whose VIN number I
gave.   I also gave them a bogus email address so I wouldn't get spammed.  I
also had to give my home address and select a home dealer.  I am sure to get
harrassed to no end.

Here are the manuals for a 2007 Highlander.  Looks to cost about $500.

Hardly free.  They do have free specification look up, owners manuals and
how to repairs that are interesting.

      Repair Manual VOL. 1 RM03J0U1 $ 123.51
      Repair Manual VOL. 2 RM03J0U2 $ 108.07
      Repair Manual VOL. 3 RM03J0U3 $ 108.07
      Repair Manual VOL. 4 RM03J0U4 $ 108.07

dude, he was talking about the owner's manual.  Repair manuals are
*never* free.

Re: Stowing 2007 Highlander's 3rd row seatbelts



But if you go to the Toyota Technical Information Service
(https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/ ) you can get access to the
Toyota Service Manauls AND Technical Service Bulletins for 2 days for a very
reasonable fee ($15). You can save the TSB and sections of the service
manuals you need as PDFs. It is not practical to download an entire service
manuals this way, but you probably wouldn't want to (but if you really are
decicated you could). Ford, GM, and others have similar services.

Thanks C.E.  I registered with Toyota.com and am able to download the
manual for free. Unfortunately, the directions are still confusing.
I'm going to have the parts/service department explain it to me when I
pick up the vehicle on the 15th.
