you don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s
seat only when the vehicle is not moving.
Lift the bar located under the front
of the seat to unlock
it. Slide the seat to where you want
it and release

drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then check the

You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list Adding Equipment to the Outside of
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See Part E: Maintenance Record on page 6- 16. Your Vehicle
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about
it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused.
If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be
hurt.
Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can
affect the airflow around it. This may cause wind
noise and affect windshield washer performance. Check
with your dealer before adding equipment
to the
outside
of your vehicle.
