Here you’ll find information about the seats in your
vehicle and how
to use your safety belts properly. You
can also learn about some things you should not do with
air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down.
Manual Front Seat
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.
Move the lever under the
front of the standard seat
toward the driver’s door 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable
on others. Slide an adjustable 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.
Your adjustable head restraint may also be tilted forward
for greater comfort.
Seatback Latches
The front seatback folds
forward to
let people get
into the back seat or
to
access the storage area
behind
the seat.
To fold the front seatback
~ forward, lift the latch and
push the seat forward.
To return the seatback to the upright position, push the
seatback all the way back until the latch catches. If the
seatback was reclined before being folded forward, it
will return to
the reclined position.
I
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury
to the person sitting there. Always press rearward
