Seats and Seat Controls
This part tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them,
and also about reclining front seatbacks, head restraints,
easy entry seats and the folding rear seatback.
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 located under the front 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 Manual Lumbar Support
Turn the knob located on the driver's side seatback
clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust support of the
lower back.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the outboard
side of the seat cushion. Release the lever to lock the
seatback where you want it. Pull up on the lever,
and the seat will go to its original upright position.

1-4
But don't have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is moving.
CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can't do their job when
you're reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it
won't be against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety
belt properly.

1-5 Head Restraints
Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top of your head. This position reduces
the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The head restraint can be adjusted to four positions.
To raise the restraint, pull up on the restraint. To lower
the restraint, push in the release button while you push
down on the restraint.
Easy Entry Seats (Two-Door)
The front seats of your vehicle make it easy to get in
and out of the rear seat area.
When you pull up on the recliner release lever, the
seatback will tilt forward and the whole seat can slide
forward when pushed by hand.

1-6
After someone gets into the rear seat area, move the
seat rearward until it locks. Then move the seatback to
its original position.
CAUTION:
If any easy entry seat isn't locked, it can move.
In a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting
there could be injured. And, even if there is
no crash or sudden stop, a driver sitting in an
unlocked easy entry seat could be startled by the
sudden movement and hit the wrong control or
pedal, causing an accident. After you've used it,
be sure to push rearward on any easy entry seat
to be sure it is locked.
To get out of the rear seat area, push the release pedal on
the rear of the front passenger's side front seat. Then tilt
the seatback forward, and slide the whole seat forward.

1-7 Rear Seats
CAUTION:
If a head restraint is not installed on the seatback
or stored in the vehicle properly, it could be
thrown about the vehicle in a crash or sudden
maneuver. People in the vehicle could be injured.
Remove the head restraints only when you need
to fold the seat, and be sure that the head
restraints are stored securely in the top of the
folded seat bottom. When the seat is returned
to the passenger position, be sure the head
restraints are installed properly.
Folding the Rear Seatback
The rear seat in your vehicle folds to provide more cargo
space. To fold the rear seats do the following:
1. Fold the safety belt buckles and center safety belt
(if equipped) into the pocket of the rear seatback.
