Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down. It also tells you about
reclining front seatbacks and head restraints.
Power Seats
Horizontal Control: You can adjust your vehicle's front
seats with the horizontal control located on the outboard
edge of each front seat.
Raise or lower the front of the seat by raising or
lowering the forward edge of the control. Raise or lower
the rear of the seat by raising or lowering the rear edge
of the control.
Move the seat forward or rearward by moving the
whole control toward the front or toward the rear of
the vehicle.
Moving the whole control up or down raises or lowers
the entire seat cushion.

1-4 Heated Front Seats
The control for the driver's
side heated seat is located
on the driver's side door
panel. The control for the
passenger's side heated seat
is located on the passenger's
side door panel.
The ignition must be in RUN for this feature to operate.
To activate the heated seats, press the button once for the
HI heat setting. Press the button again for the LO heat
setting. To turn off the heated seats, press the button a third
time. An indicator light on the button will illuminate for
each heat setting anytime the heated seats are operating.
The heated front seats will be canceled after the ignition
is turned to OFF. If you still want to use the heated front
seat feature after you restart your vehicle, you will need
to press the heated seat button again.
You vehicle also has rear heated seats. See the section
on ªRear Heated Seatsº later in this section for
more information.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
Your vehicles front seatbacks have a recline feature.
Vertical Control: You can use the vertical control to
adjust the angle of the seatback. Move the reclining front
seatback rearward or forward by moving the control
toward the rear or toward the front of the vehicle.

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.
Pull firmly on the top of the head restraint to position it
to your liking.
The rear seat head restraints in your vehicle are adjustable.
They work the same as the front seat head restraints.
