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 do not want to. Adjust the driver’s
seat only when the vehicle is not moving.If your vehicle has manual
seats, they can be
adjusted forward or
rearward using the lever
located under the front
of the seat(s).
1. Move the seat adjustment lever toward the outboard
side of the seat to unlock it.
2. Slide the seat to where you want it.
3. Release the lever and try to move the seat with
your body, to make sure that the seat is locked
into place.
