Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down.
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.
Move the lever under the front of the manual seat up 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.

1-3 Manual Lumbar Support

there will be a knob on the
outside of the driver and
passenger bucket seats.
Turn the knob
counterclockwise to
increase lumbar support and
clockwise to decrease
lumbar support.
Power Seats (If Equipped)
If you have this feature, there will be a control pad on
the outside of your seat.
Horizontal Control: Raise the front of the seat by
raising the forward edge of the button. Lower the front

1-5 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the control on the
driver's seat looks like this.
You can use this memory function to save your
seat cushion and seatback settings by using the
following procedure:
1. Adjust the driver's seat to a safe and comfortable
driving position.
2. Press the SET button and then one of the two
numbered memory buttons. You will hear a chime
for each button pushed to confirm that your settings
have been placed in memory.
3. To program your keyless entry transmitter, press the
UNLOCK button within five seconds of
programming the memory button. You will hear a
chime to confirm programming of the transmitter.When your vehicle is in PARK (P) for an automatic
transmission or the parking brake is engaged for a
manual transmission, push and release the numbered
memory button you just stored. The seat will move to
the set position. You will hear one chime.
Pressing the UNLOCK button of a keyless entry
transmitter will adjust the seat to the corresponding
stored memory position. You will hear one chime.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to readjust the seat. The transmitter
need not be reprogrammed unless it needs to correspond
to the other numbered memory button.
To set the seat for a second driver, follow the previous
steps, but use the other numbered button and the other
keyless entry transmitter.
If there is a third driver, use the seat adjuster switch to
adjust the seat. Pressing any of the seat adjuster
switches, the SET button or pressing the desired
memory button twice will cause the seat to stop moving.
If you push the numbered button to adjust the seat
and start the vehicle while the seat is still adjusting,
adjustment will pause while the ignition is in START.
Adjustment will resume after the ignition is in RUN.

1-6 Heated Front Seats (If Equipped)
If you have this feature, the
control is located on the
side of the seat. This feature
will quickly heat the lower
cushion and lower back of
the driver and front
passenger seats for
added comfort.
Press the lower part of the switch to turn the heater on
low. Press the upper part of the switch to turn the heater
on high. Put the switch in the center position to turn the
heater off.
The passenger's safety belt must be engaged for the
heated seat feature to work on the passenger's seat.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the outer side of
the seat.
Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it.
Pull up on the lever and the seat will go to an
upright position.
