Tip Slide
Do not drive the vehicle with the tip slide seat unlatched. This
may result in loss of vehicle control and severe personal injury.
To operate the feature:
1. Lift the seatback control (1) on
the side of the seat or push forward
control (2). The seatback will tilt
forward.
2. Push the seatback to move the
seat forward.
3. Reposition the seatback to the
desired position and pull control (1)
or push control (2) to lock/latch the
seat. The seatback and seat track
will not return to the original
position automatically and must be
adjusted.
Once the tip slide feature has been activated, the seat will not re-latch
until the seatback is moved into the latched upright position by lifting
the seatback control (1). This will engage the seat track locking levers.
The tip slide feature can also be activated from the rear seat position.
Push the lower control on the rear outboard side of the front seat (2)
with your foot and follow steps 2 and 3 listed previously.
