motor. Stop operating if the adjust-
ment is completed. Excessive opera-
tion may damage the electrical equip-

power. To prevent unnecessary charg-
ing system drain, don’t adjust the
power seats longer than necessary
while the engine is not running.

Doing so may result in power seat
motor or electrical component mal-
function.

ward to move the seat to the desired
position. Release the knob and the seat
will lock in the selected position.

sure the seat is locked securely by trying
to move forward and backward without
using the control knob. If the seat moves,
it is not locked properly.
