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 lever under the front of the seat up, using a
twisting motion. This will unlock the seat. Slide the seat
to where you want it and release the lever. Try to move
the seat with your body to be sure the seat is locked
in place.

1-3 6-Way Power Driver's Seat (If Equipped)
This switch is designed to
control the movements of
your seat cushion. It is
located on the left side of
the driver's seat cushion.
To move the seat closer to the instrument panel,
slide the switch forward. To move it farther away, slide
the switch rearward. To raise or lower the seat, push the
switch up or down. To raise or lower the front portion of
your seat, push the front of the switch up or down.
To raise or lower the rear portion of your seat,
push the rear of the switch up or down.
Manual Lumbar (If Equipped)
The knob that controls this feature is located on the
right side of the driver's seat, about halfway down the
seatback. Turn the knob clockwise to increase lumbar
support. Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease
lumbar support.

1-5 Reclining Front Seatbacks
Lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat 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.

1-7 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)
On two-door models, the front passenger seat is
designed to make it easy to get in and out of the rear
seat. Tilt the passenger seatback fully forward. The
whole seat will now slide forward. If the seat will not
tilt, lift the seatback latch, located on the back of the seat
to tilt the seatback forward. The whole seat will now
slide forward.
After someone gets into the rear seat area, move the
passenger front seatback to its original position.
Then move the seat rearward until it locks.
To get out, tilt the seatback fully forward.
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.
