If the seatback is moved from its forward stop angle
while the seat is traveling forward, the seat will
stop. If the seatback is returned to the forward stop
angle position, the seat will resume its forward
travel. If the seatback is returned to its upright
position, the seat will return to the original position.
If the transmission is shifted from N (Neutral) or P
(Park) while the driver's seat is moving, the seat
will stop where it is. Returning the gearshift to N
(Neutral) or P (Park) will allow seat movement to
continue. To allow movement without returning to
P (Park) or N (Neutral) will require the use of the
electric seat controls.
If you sit in the seat while the Auto-Glide is
moving rearward, the seat will continue to move.
If the seat stalls, or if any seat switch is
momentarily activated (excluding the lumbar switch)
while the seat is traveling forward, the seat will
stop. If the seatback is returned to its upright
position, the seat will return to the position it wasat when the ease of entry cycle was started. To
resume forward travel will require moving the
seatback off of its forward stop angle position and
returning it back to the same. Repositioning the seat
at this time using the seat controls will cancel
Auto-Glide.
If the ignition is off, and the last open door is
closed while a seat is moving, 30 seconds will be
allowed for the forward or rearward movement to
be completed.

the seatback is upright
q
the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
q
the lap belt is snug and low on the hips
q
the shoulder belt is snug against the chest
q
the knees are straight forward
To help you remember to fasten your safety belt, a
warning light may come on and a chime may
sound. SeeSafety Belt Warning Light and Chimein

See the following sections in this chapter for
directions on how to properly use these safety belts.
