This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them and fold them up and down.

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.

The control pad is on the side of your seat.
Horizontal Control: Raise the front of the seat by
raising the forward edge of the button. Lower the front
of the seat by lowering the forward edge of the button.
Move the seat forward by moving the whole button
toward the front of the vehicle.

Moving the whole button up or down raises or lowers
the whole seat.
Vertical Control: Move the reclining front seatback
rearward by moving the button toward the rear of the
vehicle. Move the seatback forward by moving the
button toward the front of the vehicle.
Power Lumbar Control
The control is on the side
of the driver's and
passenger's seat.
Press and hold the front of the control until you have the
desired lumbar support. To decrease lumbar support,
press the rear of the control.
Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the memory seat
control on the driver's seat
looks like this.
You can use this memory function to save your
seat cushion and seat back 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 remote 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), 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 remote keyless entry
transmitter will adjust the seat to the corresponding
stored memory position. You will hear one chime.
To store a new position, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to readjust
the seat. The keyless entry transmitter need not be
programmed 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 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.Heated Front Seats (Option)
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. Move the switch to 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.

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.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also.
The rear seat head restraints in your vehicle are
adjustable. Slide an adjustable 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.
Push the button located under the rear head restraint to
raise or lower it. After releasing the button, push or pull
on the head restraint to make sure it's locked in place.
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 up 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.
