Seats and Seat Controls
This part tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and also about reclining front seatbacks, lumbar
adjustments and heated seats.
Manual Front Passenger's Seat
CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust the 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.
Pull up on the control bar located under the front of the
seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it and
then release the bar. Try to move the seat with your body
to make sure the seat is locked into place.
Manual Lumbar Support (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, the knob that controls
it is located on the outboard side of the driver's seat.
Turn the knob toward the front of the vehicle to increase
lumbar support. Turn the knob toward the rear of the
vehicle to decrease lumbar support.
If you have the independent front cushion moved down
as far as it will go, you may feel the lumbar support
higher in your back. Readjust the location of the cushion
until you are comfortable. You may also want to adjust
the seatback for maximum comfort.

1-4 Power Lumbar Control (Option)
If your vehicle has this
option, the power lumbar
controls are located on
the outboard side of each
front seat.
Use the power seat control first to get the proper
position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, press the lumbar control
forward to increase support and rearward to decrease
support. Press the control up or down to raise or lower
the support mechanism.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes,
as it may during long trips, so should the position of
your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
If you have the independent front cushion moved down
as far as it will go, you may feel the lumbar support
higher in your back. Readjust the location of the cushion
until you are comfortable. You may also want to adjust
the seatback for maximum comfort.
Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver's
door panel, and are used to
program and recall memory
settings for the driver's
seating, outside mirror
positions and comfort
controls. See ªComfort
Controlsº in the Index for
more information.
To save your seat and mirror positions into memory,
use the following procedure:
1. First identify the DRIVER # on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) by pressing the memory
button (1 or 2) or by pressing the button with
the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º
in the Index.
2. Adjust the driver's seat and lumbar position to a safe
and comfortable driving position. Adjust both outside
mirrors to suit you. See ªMirrorsº in the Index.

NOTICE:
To make sure your headlamps are aimed
properly, read all the instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow these instructions
could cause damage to headlamp parts.
The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:

The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps
are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall or other
flat surface.

The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly
level surface which is level all the way to the wall or
other flat surface.

The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular to
the wall or other flat surface.

The vehicle should not have any snow, ice or mud
attached to it.

The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other
work stopped while headlamp aiming is being done.

The vehicle should be normally loaded with a full
tank of fuel and one person or 160 lbs. (75 kg) on the
driver's seat.
Tires should be properly inflated.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle low beam
lamps. The high beam lamps will be correctly aimed if
the low beam lamps are aimed properly.
The headlamp aiming devices are under the hood near
the headlamps.
If you believe your headlamps need horizontal
(left/right) adjustment, follow the horizontal aiming
procedure. If you believe your headlamps need only
vertical (up/down) adjustment, follow only the vertical
aiming procedure.
Adjustment screws can be turned with an E8 Torx

socket or T15 Torx screwdriver.
