(Manually operated seats)
(Electrically operated seats)
The seat-bottom tilt, seat height, seat
slide, and seat recline can be electrically
adjusted. Move them to the desired
positions by using the switch on the seat’s
lower side.

Seat Slide
(Manually operated seats)
To move a seat forward or backward, raise
the lever and slide the seat to the desired
position and release the lever.
Make sure the lever returns to its original
position and the seat is locked in place by
attempting to push it forward and
backward.
Front Seats
Securing the Seats:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that
are not securely locked are
dangerous. In a sudden stop or
collision, the seat or seatback could
move, causing injury. Make sure the
adjustable components of the seat are
locked in place by attempting to slide
the seat forward and backward and
rocking the seatback.
•The seat-bottom power adjust is
operated by a motor. Avoid
extended operation because
excessive use can damage the
motor.
•To prevent the battery from running
down, avoid using the power adjust
when the engine is stopped. The
adjuster uses a great amount of
electric power.
•Don’t use the switch to make more
than one adjustment at a time.
WARNING
CAUTION

switch on the outside of the seat to the
front or back and hold it. Release the
switch at the desired position.
Seat Recline
Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous

can slide under the lap belt and suffer
serious internal injuries. For
maximum protection, sit well back
and upright.
Unlocked Seatback:
A seatback plays an important role in
your protection in a vehicle. Leaving
the seatback unlocked is dangerous as
it can allow passengers to be ejected
or thrown around and baggage to
strike occupants in a sudden stop or
collision, resulting in severe injury.
After adjusting the seatback at any
time, even when there are no other
passengers, rock the seatback to make
sure it is locked in place.
