Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down. It also tells you about
reclining front seatbacks and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
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
don't want to. Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
You can adjust the seat
with this lever located at
the front of the seat.
Slide the lever toward the passenger's side to unlock the
seat. Using your body, slide the seat to where you want
it and release the lever. Try to move the seat with your
body in order to make sure the seat is locked into place.

1-3 Power Lumbar Control (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has the
power lumbar feature, you
can increase or decrease
lumbar support in an area
of the lower seatback.
The switch is located on
the outboard side of the
driver's seat cushion.
To increase support, press and hold the front of the
rocker switch. Let go of the switch when the lower
seatback reaches the desired level of support.
To decrease support, press and hold the rear of the
rocker switch. Let go of the switch when the lower
seatback reaches the desired level of support.
Reclining Seatbacks
The reclining seatback lever is located on the outboard
sides of the driver's and passenger's seats. To adjust the
front seatback, move the lever rearward. Release the
lever to lock the seatback where you want it. Move the
lever rearward without pushing on the seatback.
The seatback will go to an upright position.
