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

release the lever and try to
move the seat with your

is locked into place.

The optional touring bench seats come with moveable
armrests, individual reclining seatbacks, adjustable

Mirrors can also be folded
in or out. Push the mirror
toward
the vehicle to move it in. After pushing the
mirror out, adjustment will be maintained.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from
the driver’s seat.
1 A CAUTION:
-
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Storage Compartments
Your front storage compartment/glove box is at the
center
of the engine cover. To open the compartment,
press the two tabs together and
pull.
