Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Bucket Seats
If you have rear bucket seats in your vehicle, they will
recline and adjust the same way as the front manual
bucket seats. See “Reclining Seatbacks” earlier
in this
section or
in the Index.
Bench Seats
If you have bench seats in your vehicle, each seat can
carry up to three passengers. They can also be removed
to increase storage space.
The center bench (if not equipped with
a built-in child
restraint) and rear bench seats can be adjusted forward
or rearward by
the lever at the front of the seat. Move
the seat adjustment
lever at the front of the seat
toward the passenger’s side
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.
The non-touring center bench seat has
a pivoting
right armrest. The left armrest can also be used as
a
storage compartment.
The optional touring bench seats come with moveable
armrests, individual reclining seatbacks, adjustable
headrests
and a fold-down center console.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults
Your vehicle may have rear shoulder belt comfort
guides. This feature will provide added safety belt
comfort for children who have outgrown child restraints
and for small adults. When installed on a shoulder belt,
the comfort guide pulls the belt away from the neck
and head.
There is one guide for each outside passenger position in
the rear seats.
To provide added safety belt comfort for
children who have outgrown child restraints and
for
smaller adults, the comfort guides may be installed on
the shoulder belts. Here’s how to install a comfort guide
and use the safety belt:
1. Remove the guide from its storage clip on the side of
the seatback.
