Manual Front Seats
A
CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver's seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you,
or
make you push a pedal when you
don't want to. Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
Lift the lever on the front of the driver's seat to unlock
it. Slide the seat to where you want it. Then release the
lever and try to move the seat with your body, to make
sure the seat is locked into place.
