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 properly adjusted 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.
Lumbar Support — If Equipped
This feature allows you to increase or decrease
the amount of lumbar support. The control lever is

lever downward to increase and upward to de-
crease the desired amount of lumbar support.
Fold Flat Front Passenger Seat — If Equipped
This feature allows the front passenger seat to fold
flat for extended cargo space. Some fold flat seats
also have a hardback surface that you can use as
a work surface when the seat is folded flat. Pull up
on the lever to fold down the seatback.
