Seats and Seat Controls
This part tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them,
take them out and put them back in. It also tells you
about reclining front seatbacks.
Manual Front Seats
The bucket seats can be adjusted forward or rearward
with the lever located at the front of the seat.
To adjust the seat, pull the lever up to release the seat
bottom and 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.
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.

1-3 Power Seat (Option)
If your vehicle has a power seat on the driver's or
passenger's side, you can adjust it with these switches
located at the front center of the seat cushion.
To raise or lower the seat, move the center knob up or
down. To move the seat forward or rearward, move the
center knob toward the right or left.
You can raise and lower the front and rear of the seat.
To raise or lower the front of the seat, move the right
lever up or down. To raise or lower the rear of the seat,
move the left lever up or down.
Reclining Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the front of the lever, which
is located at the inboard side of the seat cushion.
Move the seatback with your body and release the lever
to lock the seatback where you want it. Lean forward
and pull up on the front of the lever and the seatback
will go to an upright position.

fastener strip provided for stowing the safety belt
latch for a four
