Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could damage
your vehicle.
In the notice area, we tell you about something that
can damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage
would not be covered by your warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell you what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different
colors or in different words.
You'll also see warning labels on your vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
Your vehicle may be equipped with components and
labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols,
used on your vehicle, are shown along with the text
describing the operation or information relating to a
specific component, control, message, gage or indicator.
If you need help figuring out a specific name of a
component, gage or indicator reference the following
topics in the Index:

ªEngine Compartment Overviewº

Seats and Seat Controls
This part tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them,
and also about reclining seatbacks and seatback latches.
Manual Seats
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.
To move a manual seat, pull up on the lever located in
front of the seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where
you want it and release the lever. Then try to move the
seat with your body to make sure the seat is locked
into place.

1-3 Power Seats (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, the control for the power
seats will be located on the outboard side of each seat,
near the base.Different parts of the power seat control move different
parts of the seat. To move the seat forward or rearward,
move the control in that direction. Move the control up
to raise the seat and down to lower it. By tilting the back
of the control, it will raise or lower the back of the seat.
Tilting the front of the control will raise or lower the
front of the seat.
Your preferred seat position can be stored and recalled
if you have the memory option. See ªMemoryº in
the Index.

1-4 Sport Seat (Option)
If your vehicle is equipped with a sport seat, there are
three other controls that help you change the shape of the
seat in addition to the power seat control. There are two
lumbar supports for the middle (A) and lower (B) back.
There's also a side bolster control (C) that adjusts the sides
of the seat around you to give you more lateral support.
For lumbar support, move each control (A and B)
forward to inflate or rearward to deflate.
Move the side bolster control (C) up for more side
support and down for less support.
Reclining Seatbacks
The lever for the reclining seatback is located on the
outboard side of each seat, near the base.
To adjust the seatback, lean slightly forward to lift your
weight off the seatback. Pull completely up on the lever
until it stops, and lean back to position the seatback to
where you want it. Release the lever to lock the seatback
into place.
