{CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you

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.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 with your
body to be sure the seat is locked in place.

Power Seats
If the vehicle has power
seats, the controls used
to operate them are
located on the outboard
side of the seats.
To adjust the seat, do any of the following:
Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding
the horizontal control forward or rearward.
Raise or lower the front part of the seat
cushion by moving the front of the horizontal
control up or down.
Raise or lower the rear part of the seat
cushion by moving the rear of the horizontal
control up or down.
Raise or lower the entire seat by moving the
entire horizontal control up or down.If the seats have power reclining seatbacks, the
control used to operate them is located behind the
power seat control on the outboard side of the
seats. See “Power Reclining Seatbacks”
underReclining Seatbacks on page 14.
Manual Lumbar
If your vehicle has
this feature, there is
a knob located on
the outboard side of
the driver’s seat.
Turn the top of the knob toward the front of the
vehicle to increase lumbar support. Turn the top
of the knob toward the rear of the vehicle to
decrease lumbar support.

Power Lumbar
Your vehicle may have power lumbar on the
driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
The seatback lumbar
support can be adjusted
by moving the control
located on the outboard
side of the seat
cushions.
To increase or decrease support, hold the control
forward or rearward.
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.
Heated Seats
Your vehicle may have
heated front seats.
The buttons used to
control this feature are
located on the front
door armrests.
The engine must be
running for the heated
seat feature to work.
To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button
with the heated seat and seatback symbol.
Press the button to cycle through the temperature
settings of high, medium, and low and to turn
the heated seat off. The indicator lights above the
button will come on to designate the level of
heat selected: three for high, two for medium, and
one for low. The low setting warms the seatback
and seat cushion until the seat temperature is near
body temperature. The medium and high settings
heat the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly
higher temperature. You will be able to feel heat in
about two minutes.
