Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats-how to adjust
them, and also about folding seats, reclining front
seatbacks, and head restraints.
Manual Seat
Move the lever under the
front seat to the left to
unlock it. Slide the seat to
where you want
it then
release the lever
to lock.
Try to move the seat
with
your body, to make sure the
seat is locked into place.

Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint
is closest to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a
crash.
Folding Rear Seats (Wagon)
To add more cargo room, the seatbacks of your rear
second and optional rear-facing third seats can be easily
folded down. Be sure to check your seatback latches
now and then by pushing the seatback back and forth.
If
they do not latch properly, have them checked by your
dealer.
Remember
to keep safety belts clear of seat hinges and
latches
so they are not damaged when you raise and
lower the seatbacks.
