Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something that could
damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage the
vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered
by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could be costly. But
the notice will tell what to do to help avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in
different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along with
the text describing the operation or information

Front Seats
Manual Seats
{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.
If your vehicle has a manual bucket or a split bench
seat, you can adjust the seat forward or rearward with
the bar located under the front of the seat cushion.
Lift the bar to unlock the seat. Slide the seat to
where you want it and release the bar. Try to move
the seat with your body to be sure the seat is locked
in place.
1-3

Raise or lower the front of the seat cushion by
raising or lowering the front of the horizontal control.
Raise or lower the rear of the seat cushion by
raising or lowering the rear of the horizontal control.
Raise or lower the entire seat cushion by raising or
lowering the whole horizontal control.
Move the seat forward or rearward by moving the

To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward. Keep in mind that as your seating

heat selected: three for high, two for medium, and
one for low.To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button

Reclining Seatbacks
{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.
To adjust the seatback, lift the manual lever located
on the outboard side of the seat. Release the
lever to lock the seatback in the desired position.Lift the lever again without pushing on the seatback

how to operate the reclining seatback feature.
1-6

{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. 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 your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top of your head. This position reduces
the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Pull the head restraint up to raise it. Push the head
restraint down to lower it.
Your rear seats may have head restraints that can be
adjusted up and down.
