A fastening assembly includes a receiving seat and a clip having an operation portion, a holding portion, an insertion portion, and a pair of connection leg portions. The receiving seat includes a neck portion and a receiving channel. The insertion portion connects to the operation portion by the pair of connection leg portions, and the holding portion connects to the operation portion. When the clip is mounted on the neck portion of the receiving seat, the insertion portion of the clip is at least partially inserted into the receiving channel through the opening in a first neck portion side wall, and the holding portion of the clip abuts against a second neck portion side wall. When a pushing force is applied to the operation portion toward the neck portion, the insertion portion can be withdrawn from the receiving channel, such that the clip can be removed from the receiving seat.

In a vehicle seat having an airbag module placed in the seatback thereof, the load that may be applied to the back side of the seatback is prevented from being applied to the airbag module. The vehicle seat (1, 300, 400) comprise a seatback frame (19) including a pair of side members (26, 301) extending vertically along either side thereof and providing a structural framework of a seatback, a plate member (20, 402) positioned behind the seatback frame and including an extension (32, 410) extending in an outboard direction from the side member located on an outboard side of the seatback frame, a mounting member connected to the outboard side member, and an airbag module (23) positioned on a front side of the extension and connected to the outboard side member via the mounting member, a clearance (S) being defined between the airbag module and the extension.

Vehicle structure includes a front seat for a driver and a rear seat for a passenger aligned with each other. The front seat is slidable and/or tiltable between a rearward position, in which it is rigidly secured to the frame of the rear seat by a releasable locking device, and a forward position, in which a gap is formed between the front seat and the rear seat to facilitate the access and exit of the passenger.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side powersports vehicle having a utility bed recessed in the rear body portion below an upper surface, the utility bed forming a stepped portion relative to the rear body portion and having a maximum lateral width greater than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, and a minimum width less than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, whereby a spare wheel may be stored on the stepped portion of the utility bed. As shown herein, the utility bed is defined as a removable tub, which can be removed from the rear body portion. The utility bed has defined troughs in a floor thereof angled rearwardly wherein the utility bed has drains which drain away from any heat source of the vehicle. The seats of the vehicle allow longitudinal movement and tilt capability.
