Adjusting the Seats

Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible while
allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle.
You should be able to sit upright and well back in the
seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably.
The passenger's seat should be adjusted so that it
is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
Horizontal position adjustment
Pull up on the bar to move the
seat, then release the bar.
Height adjustment (Driver's seat only)
Pull up or push down the lever to raise or
lower the seat.

WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
Reclining the Front Seats
You can recline the seat-backs of the front seats so they are level with the rear
seat cushions to make a large cushioned area.
1. remove the front head restraints (see page 40).
Store the head restraints in the cargo area.
2. Adjust the front seats forward as far as possible.
3. Pivot the seat-back backward with the seat-back
angle adjustment lever to be level with the rear
seat cushion.
4. Move the front seat backward until it touches the rear seat.
5. Unlatch the detachable anchor from the anchor buckle, and store the rear
center seat belt (see page 8).
6. Adjust the rear seat-back to the desired position.
To return the front seats to their original positions, reverse this procedure. When
you return the seat-back to its upright position, hold the seat-back to keep it from
going up too quickly.
Floor Mats*
Position the front seat floor mats properly, and
anchor them. If they are not properly positioned,
the floor mats can interfere with the front seat
functions.
Do not put additional floor mats on top of the
anchored mats.
