driver’s seat)
Operating tips
cThe power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.
cDo not operate the power seat switch for a
long period of time when the engine is off.
This will discharge the battery.cPull up on the upper seatback release lever
to release the seatback only. Push the seat-
back forward to allow for access to items
behind the front seat. Push the seatback to
the rear of the vehicle to return the seatback
to the upright and locked position. The up-
per seatback release lever does not need to
be used.
WARNING
Before driving the vehicle, return the seat-
back to an upright seating position after
manually releasing it. Also, make sure the
seat is locked in place. Failure to do so
may cause the seat to move in a collision
or sudden stop. This may result in damage
to the seat or personal injury.
