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.
If your vehicle has a manual bucket or a split bench seat,
you can adjust it with this lever located at the front of
the seat.
Lift the lever 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 to make sure the seat is
locked into place.

Manual Cushion Tilt (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can raise or lower
the front of the driver's or passenger's seat with this
lever located at the inside edge of the seat. To raise or
lower the front of the seat, move the lever up or down in
a continuous motion until the cushion reaches the
desired height.
Manual Lumbar Control (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has a lumbar
adjustment, the knob is
located on the outboard side
of the seat cushion.
To increase or decrease support, turn the knob toward
the front or rear of the vehicle. Operating effort can
be reduced if you lean forward slightly while turning
the knob.
