Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the
seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the
event of a collision.
To adjust the front seatback using
the manual recliner:
•Lift and hold the handle located
on the side of the seat.
•Lean against the seatback to
adjust it to your desired position.
You can recline the seat back or
bring it forward.
•Release the handle when the desired position has been reached.
Front seat armrest
The front seat armrest has a locking feature which is engaged when the
armrest is in the up position and a collision with sufficient forward
deceleration causes a locking pin to activate. To disengage this locking
pin, the armrest must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer
in accordance with the vehicle service manual.
Using the power lumbar support (if equipped)
The power lumbar control is located
on the front inboard side of the
seat.
Press the top side of the control to
adjust firmness.
Press the bottom side of the control
to adjust softness.
Adjusting the power front seats – door mounted controls
The controls for the power seats are located on the inside of each front
door.
Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to avoid injuring
people in a collision or sudden stop.
