Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the manual and power
seats
-- how to adjust them, and also about the reclining
front seatbacks, memory seats, lumbar adjustments and
heated seats.
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.
Pull up on the lever located under the front of the
manual 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.
Power Seats (If Equipped)
If you have this feature,
the power seat controls are
located on the outboard side
of the front seat cushions.

Move the front of the seat control up or down to
adjust the front portion of the cushion.

Move the rear of the seat control up or down to
adjust the rear portion of the cushion.

1-3

Lift up or push down on the center of the seat control
to move the entire seat up or down.

To move the seat forward or rearward, slide the seat
control forward or rearward.

To recline the seatback, press the vertical control
rearward. To raise the seatback, press the vertical
control forward.
Manual Lumbar Control
This control is located on the outboard side of the seat.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to increase lumbar
support and clockwise to decrease lumbar support.
Four-Way Power Lumbar Control
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the driver's and
passenger's seatback
lumbar support can be
adjusted four ways by
moving a single control
located on the outboard
side of the seat cushions.
To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward. To move the lumbar up or down,
hold the control up or down.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes,
as it may during long trips, so should the position of
your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.

1-4 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature the controls are
located on the driver's door,
and are used to program and
recall memory settings for
the driver's seating and
outside mirror positions.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the
desired position. Then press and hold button 1
(for driver 1) for three seconds. A chime will sound
to let you know that the position has been stored.A second mirror and seating position can be
programmed by repeating the procedure with a
second driver and pressing button 2 for three seconds.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory position will
be recalled. Each time a memory button is pressed,
a single chime will sound.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's seat
and mirror positions will be recalled if programmed to
do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.
