GETTING STARTED
Manual Front Seats
Manual Front Seat Forward/Rearward Ad-
justment
On models equipped with manual seats, the
forward/rearward 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.
• 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 rest-
ing 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.
Height Adjustment
The front driver and passenger seats height can be raised or lowered by using a lever,
located on the outboard side of the seat. Pull upward on the lever to raise the seat
height or push downward on the lever to lower the seat height.
Recline Adjustment
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean back
to the desired position and release the lever. To return the seatback, lift the lever, lean
forward and release the lever.
