the front of the seat to
adjust the seat
forward or rearward.
Pull up on the lever to
unlock the seat.
Slide the seat to where
you want it and
release the lever.
To make sure the seat is locked into place, try to
move the seat back and forth with your body.

the control forward or rearward.
Raise or lower the front part of the seat
cushion by moving the front of the control up
or down.

Your vehicle may have this feature. If it does, the
heated seat buttons are located on the climate
control panel.
This feature will heat the lower cushions of the
driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
Press this button once
to turn the heated seat
on to the high setting.
Both indicator lights next to the heated seat
symbol will be lit to indicate that it is on the high
setting. Press the button a second time to go to the
low setting. One indicator will be lit. Press the
button a third time to turn the heated seat off.This feature will turn off automatically when the
ignition is turned off.
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls for
the memory function
are located on the
driver’s door.
These buttons are used to program and recall
memory settings for the driver’s seating position.
The settings for these features can be
personalized for both driver 1 and driver 2.
Driver 1 or driver 2 corresponds to the memory
buttons labeled 1 and 2 on the driver’s door and to
the numbers, 1 or 2, on the back of the remote
keyless entry transmitters.

Reclining Seatbacks
Manual Reclining Seatbacks
{CAUTION:
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.
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on the
seatback to be sure it is locked.
If your seats have manual reclining seatbacks, the
lever used to operate them is located on the
outboard side of the seat(s).
12

Power Reclining Seatbacks
If your seats have
power reclining
seatbacks, use the
vertical power
seat control located on
the outboard side of
the seat(s).
To recline the seatback, press the control
toward the rear of the vehicle.
To raise the seatback, press the control
toward the front of the vehicle.

{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even if you buckle up, your safety belts
cannot do their job when you are 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 your
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.
Head Restraints
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the
restraint is at the same height as the top of
the occupant’s head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The height of the head restraints can be adjusted
on the rst and second row seats. Pull the
head restraint up or push it down to adjust it.
The head restraints on the third row seat cannot
be adjusted.
