Seat Adjustment
{WARNING
You can lose control of the
vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual driver’s seat while the
vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push
a pedal when you do not want to.
Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.To adjust a manual seat:
1. Lift the handle under the seat to
unlock it.
2. Slide the seat and release the
handle.
3. Try to move the seat to be sure
it is locked in place.
Seat Height Adjustment
To manually raise or lower the seat,
move the lever repeatedly upward
or downward.
Seats and Restraints 2-3

Power Seat Adjustment
•Move the seat forward or
rearward by moving the control
forward or rearward.
•Move the whole seat up or down
by moving the control up or down.
•Tilt the seat by turning the control
forward or rearward.
Reclining Seatbacks
{WARNING
You can lose control of the
vehicle if you try to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is moving.
The sudden movement could
startle and confuse you, or make
you push a pedal when you do
not want to. Adjust the driver’s
seat only when the vehicle is
not moving.
{WARNING
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job when reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its
job because it will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash, you could
go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job
either. In a crash, the belt could go
up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your
pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.

3. With the latch open, pull the
wiper blade down towards
the windshield far enough to
release it from the J-hooked
end of the wiper arm.
4. Remove the wiper blade.
Allowing the wiper blade arm to
touch the windshield when no
wiper blade is installed could
damage the windshield. Any
damage that occurs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not allow the wiper blade arm
to touch the windshield.
5. Reverse steps 1 through 3 for
wiper blade replacement.Headlamp Aiming
The headlamp aiming system has
been preset at the factory.
If the vehicle is damaged in an
accident, the aim of the headlamps
may be affected and adjustment
may be necessary.
It is recommended that a
dealer/retailer adjust the headlamps.
To re-aim the headlamps yourself,
use the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly
prepared as follows:
•The vehicle should be placed so
the headlamps are 7.6 m (25 ft)
from a light colored wall.
•The vehicle must have all four
tires on a level surface which
is level all the way to the wall.
•The vehicle should be placed so
it is perpendicular to the wall or
other flat surface.
•The vehicle should not have any
snow, ice, or mud on it.
•The vehicle should be fully
assembled and all other
work stopped while headlamp
aiming is being performed.
•The vehicle should be normally
loaded with a full tank of fuel and
one person or 75 kg (160 lbs)
sitting on the driver’s seat.
•Tires should be properly inflated.
Headlamp aiming is done with the
vehicle’s low-beam headlamps.
The high-beam headlamps will be
correctly aimed if the low-beam
headlamps are aimed properly.
