I cannot figure out how to take my seats out in my car listed above. I feel dumb for this but I read that I have to disconnect the battery because otherwise taking the seats out will trigger an airbag sensor and I cannot figure out how to detach the seats nor locate the clip that would plug into the airbag sensor in the seat. Thanks!

I attached the process for doing this. You are correct that you want to unhook the battery. Then this shows where those connectors are. Basically they are under the seat attached to the bottom side of it.

Then there are 4 bolts, one in each corner of the seat track, and you simply remove those and lift the seat out.
