SEATS

Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.

Manual Front Seat Adjustment

On models equipped with manual seats, the
adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats,
near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on
the bar and move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the bar once you have reached the
desired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.

WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dan-
gerous. Moving a seat while driving could
result in loss of control which could cause a
collision and serious injury or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is
parked. Serious injury or death could result
from a poorly adjusted seat belt.

The driver's seat height can be raised or low-
ered by using a lever, located on the outboard
