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.Lift the bar located under the front of the seat to
unlock it. 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.
8

Power Lumbar
If your vehicle has this feature, the control is
located on the outboard side of the driver’s seat
cushion.
To increase support, press and hold the front of
the control. To decrease support, press and
hold the rear of the control. Keep in mind that as
your seating position changes, as it may during
long trips, so should the position of your lumbar
support. Adjust the seat as needed.
Heated Seats
If your vehicle has this
feature, the driver’s and
passenger’s heated
seat buttons are located
on the climate control
panel below the
fan switch.
Press the button once to turn the heated seat to
the high setting. Both lights below the heated seat
symbol will come on. Press the button a second
time and the heated seat will go to the low setting.
The bottom light will come on to indicate that
the setting is on low. Press the button a third time
to turn the heated seat off.
The heated seat feature will need to be turned on
each time the ignition is turned off and back on
again.

Reclining Seatbacks
{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.
{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.The seats have reclining seatbacks. The lever
used to operate them is located on the outboard
side of the seats. Lift the lever to release the
seatback. Move the seatback to where you want it
and release the lever to lock the seatback in
place. Press rearward on the seatback to be sure
it is locked into place.

Passenger Folding Seatback
Your vehicle has a front passenger seat that
folds at.
{CAUTION:
If you fold the seatback forward to carry
longer objects, such as skis, be sure any
such cargo is not near an airbag. In a
crash, an inating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This could cause
severe injury or even death. Secure objects
away from the area in which an airbag
would inate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? on page 74and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 269.
{CAUTION:
Things you put on this seatback can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash. Remove or secure
all items before driving.
To fold the seatback, do the following:
1. Move the front passenger seat rearward to
ensure there is enough room to fold the
seatback forward. SeeManual Seats on
page 8for more information. The head
restraint may need to be removed if the seat
is not able to be moved fully rearward. If
removing the head restraint, store it so that it
will not move while the vehicle is in motion.
2. Make sure that the seatback is in an upright
position. Use the recliner lever located on the
outboard side of the seat to move the
seatback to the upright position.

3. Use one of two levers to fold the seat at.
The levers are located on the rear of the
seat near the bottom of either side of the seat.
Pull up on either lever and fold the seat
forward until the seatback disengages. This
can most easily be down from the rear seats.4. Continue to fold the seat forward until it locks
in the folded position. Pull up on the seatback
to be sure it is locked.
15

Rear Seats
Split Folding Rear Seat
The seatbacks can be folded at so that they are
at the same level as the rear cargo area. This
allows more cargo space.
To lower the rear seatback(s), do the following:
1. Move the front seat forward and/or put
the front seatback in an upright position so it
does not interfere with folding the rear
seatback forward.
2. Open the rear door while the vehicle is
parked.
3. The rear head restraint may need to be
removed to ensure that it does not interfere
with the front seat when the front seat is
moved back in place. If removed, store the
head restraint where it cannot move while the
vehicle is in motion.
Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause damage to the
seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle
the safety belts and return them to their normal
stowed position before folding a rear seat.4. Move the safety belt out of the way before
lowering the seatback. Do not let the safety
belt get caught between the seatback and seat
cushion as the seatback is folded.
