Seats & Safety Belts
Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats-how to adjust them, take the\
m out,
and put them back in, and
fold them up and down. It also tells you about
reclining seats
and head restraints.
Front Seats
Manual Front Seat
1 CAUTION
A
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
don’t want
to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle is not
movina.
K2102
Slide the lever at the front of the seat toward your door to unlock it. Slide
the seat to where you want
it. Then release the lever and try to move the
seat with your body, to make sure the seat is locked into place.

Power Seat
K2365
If your vehicle has a power seat on the driver’s side, you can adjust it with
this switch at the front of the seat.
Reclining Front Seatback (Bucket or Split Bench Seat)
Pol 91
To adjust the seatback, lift the front of this lever. If your vehicle has a
passenger side easy entry seat, your seatback lever will be sl\
ightly larger, but
will work the same way. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you

up on the lever and the seatback will go to an upright position.

Seats & Safety Belts
Don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.
i
AN1 01 020
I CAUTION
A sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be 1
I ,,.Igerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job
when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t 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 can’t 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
I belt properly. I

Head Restraints
I
i
AN102016
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest
to the
top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches (40/60 Reclining Split Bench Seat and
Reclining Bucket Seat)
PO191
To fold a seatback forward, pull up on the front of this lever and fold the
seatback forward.
