Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to
adjust them
-- and also about reclining seatbacks
and head restraints.
Manual Front Seats
CAUTION:
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.
Lift the lever on the front of the driver's seat 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.
Your vehicle will be equipped with one of the following
passenger seat adjusters.

1-3
If your vehicle is not equipped with easy entry seats,
your passenger seat adjuster looks like this. Slide the
lever under the passenger's seat to the right 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.If your vehicle is equipped with easy entry seats, this is
your front passenger seat adjuster. Pull up on the lever
at the front of the passenger's seat up to unlock it. Slide
the seat to a comfortable position. Then release the lever
and try to move the seat with your body, to make sure
the seat is locked into place.
Manual Lumbar Support (If Equipped)
The manual lumbar support control is located at the
front of the driver's seat, toward the right. Turn the
knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the amount of support to your lower back.

1-4 Reclining Front Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the outer side
of the seat and move the seatback to where you want it.
Release the lever to lock the seatback. Pull up on the
lever and the seat will go to an upright position.But don't have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is moving.

1-5
CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can't do their job when
you're reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't
be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck
or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion,
have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the
seat and wear your safety belt properly.
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.
Seatback Latches (2-Door Models)
The front seatback folds
forward to let people get
into the back seat.
To fold a front seatback
forward, lift the latch
located on the lower back
side of the seatback. Then
the seat will fold forward.
When you return the seatback to its original position,
make sure the seatback is locked. The latch must be
down for the seat to work properly.
CAUTION:
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
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

1-6 Easy Entry Seat (If Equipped)
CAUTION:
If an easy entry right front seat isn't locked, it can
move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting
there could be injured. After you've used it, be
sure to push rearward on an easy entry seat to
be sure it is locked.
The right front seat of some two-door vehicles makes it
easy to get in and out of the rear seat.

Tilt the right front seatback completely forward and
the whole seat will slide forward.

Move the right front seatback to its original position
after someone gets into the rear seat area. Then move
the seat rearward until it locks.

Tilt the seatback completely forward again to get out.
Rear Seats
Folding the Rear Seat
To open the fold-down rear seat, pull forward on the
seat tab.
