when you do not want to. Adjust the driver’s
seat only when the vehicle is not moving.If your vehicle has manual
seat adjustment, lift the bar
located under the front
of the seat to unlock it.
Slide the seat to where you want it and release the bar.
Try to move the seat back and forth to be sure the
seat is locked in place.
