Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you how to adjust the seats and
explains reclining seatbacks and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
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 bar under the front of the seat to unlock it. Slide
the seat to where you want it and release the bar. Try to
move the seat with your body to be sure the seat is
locked in place.

1-4 Heated Front Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped
with this feature, both the
driver's and passenger's
heated seat switches are on
the center console.
Press LO to warm the seat to a lower temperature. Press
HI to warm the seat to a higher temperature. To turn this
feature off, place the switch in the center position.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
Lift the lever to release the seatback, then move the
seatback to where you want it. Release the lever to lock
the seatback in place. Pull up on the lever without
pushing on the seatback, and the seatback will
move forward.

1-6 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
There is a latch on the back
of the front seat.
The latch releases the seat from the locked position.
The front seat folds forward to let people get into
the rear seat.Your seatback will move back and forth freely, unless
you come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock into place.
If your vehicle is parked facing down a steep hill, the
seatback may not fold without some help from you.
To fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear and lift the latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. 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.

1-7 Easy Entry Manual Seat
The right front passenger seat is designed to make it
easy to get in and out of the rear seat.1. Fold the right front seatback forward by lifting the
seatback latch fully.
The seat will slide forward to allow someone to get
into the rear seat area.
2. Push the seatback upright to lock and slide the seat
fully rearward to lock into its original position.
3. The front passenger should try to move the seat back
and forth to make sure the seat is locked into place.
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.
