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 moving.

carry up to three passengers. They can also be removed
to increase storage space.

restraint) and rear bench seats can be adjusted forward
or rearward by the lever at the front of the seat.

lever at the front
of the seat
toward the passenger’s side
to unlock it. Slide the seat
to where you want it. Then

is locked into place. The
optional touring bench seats come with moveable
armrests, individual reclining seatbacks, adjustable
headrests and
a fold-down center armrest console.

right armrest. The left armrest can also be used as a
storage compartment. To
adjust your seatback, pull up on the lever on the
lower outside of the seat.
