Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down.
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.
Move the lever under the front of a manual seat up to
unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it and release
the lever. Try to move the seat with your body to make
sure the seat is locked into place.

1-3 Manual Lumbar Support (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, there will be a knob
located on the outboard side
of the driver's seat.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to increase lumbar
support and clockwise to decrease lumbar support.
Power Seats (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, there will be a control on
the outboard side of the front seat(s).
