The height adjustment lever is located on the center
outboard side of the seat. Lift up or push down on the front
lever to adjust the front of the seat up or down.
Recliner Adjustment — If Equipped
The recliner knob is on the rear outboard side of the seat. To

leaning back. To return the seatback to its normal upright
position, lean forward, rotate the knob forward until the
seatback is in the upright position.
Lumbar Support — If Equipped
This feature allows you to increase or decrease the amount
of lumbar support. The lumbar control knob is located on
the rear upper outboard side of the seatback. Rotate the
control forward to increase and rearward to decrease the
desired amount of lumbar support.
WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could
cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be
adjusted properly and you could be injured. Adjust
the seat only while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the
shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and
be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.

WARNING!(Continued)
internal injuries, or you could even slide out of the
seat belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat
belt safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and
chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is comfort-
able and not resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could reduce the
effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants including preg-
nant women: the risk of injury in the event of an accident
is reduced for the mother and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt. Position the lap belt snug and low
below the abdomen and across the strong bones of the hips.
Place the shoulder belt across the chest and away from the
neck. Never place the shoulder belt behind the back or
under the arm.
