Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down.
Power Driver’s Seat
The control pad is on the side of your driver’s seat.
Manual Passenger’s Seat
Move the lever under the front of the passenger’s seat
toward the driver’s door to unlock it. Slide the seat to

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.
The head restraints
tilt forward and rearward also.
Rear Seats
Your vehicle has a folding rear seat which lets you fold
the seatbacks down for
more cargo space.
The rear seat release handles are on the rear
of the
seatbacks. Push back on the seatbacks as you
pull up
on the handles. The head restraint will automatically
fold out of the
way when the seatback is folded down.
To raise the seatbacks, just
lift LIP the seatbacks and
push until they lock in the upright position. Push and
pull
on the seatbacks to check that the latches have
locked
in the upright position. If they haven’t, have
them repaired immediately.
