Manual seat adjustment
WARNING
•Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
The seat may move suddenly and could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.
•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
•The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt
and being injured is increased.
Forward and backward:
Pull the bar
j1 up while you slide the seat forward
or backward to the desired position. Release the
bar to lock the seat in position.Seat lifter (driver’s seat – where fitted):
Pull up or push down the lever
j2 to adjust the
angle and the height of the seat cushion to the de-
sired position.
Reclining:
Turn the dial
j3 and lean back until the desired
angle is obtained. To return the seatback forward,
turn the dial and move your body forward.
REAR SEAT
WARNING
•When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,
properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
•Seats should always be set into a latched con-
dition when the vehicle is in motion. Make
sure the rear bench seat is adequately latched
every time it has been previously slid. If it is
not completely secured, passengers may be
injured in an accident or sudden stop.
•Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury in an accident or sudden stop.
•When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain that they are completely

the notched stem positions. The lowest head re-
straint position is the stowage position to assist seat
folding and rear vision. The lowest position intended

notch position. It should be further adjusted to suit
the passenger if necessary.Adjust the head restraints so the centre is level with
your ears.
