1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER
Hold the center of the lever and pull it
up. Then slide the seat to the desired
position with slight body pressure and
release the lever.
2. SEAT CUSHION ANGLE ADJUSTING KNOB (on some models)
Turn the knob either way.
3. SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTING LEVER (for driver ’s seat only)
To change the height of the seat, pull
up or push down the lever. 4. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever up.
Then lean back to the desired angle
and release the lever.CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and
the front passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdomen
or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is re-
clined, the greater the risk of death
or serious injury.
5. SEATBACK LOCK RELEASE LEVER (on some models)
Lift the lever. The seatback will fold
forward, and the seat’s slide lock is
released.
Driver ’s seat only:
The seatback lock release lever is
equipped with the seat position memory
function. For details, see “—Moving
front seats for rear seat entry” on page

:
For easy access to the rear seat, use
the seatback lock release lever.
When the seatback lock release lever is
used, the seat’s original position is
memorized, so the seat may be re-
turned to that original position. Howev-
er, if the seatback angle adjusting lever
is used, the seat will not return to its
original position.
1. Lift the seatback lock release lever.
The seatback will fold forward, and the
seat’s slide lock is released. 2. Move the seat all the way forward.
After rear passengers are seated, slide
the seat backward and then lift the seat-
back. The seat will be set and locked to
its previous position automatically. If the
seat cannot be slid back to the previous
position due to the rear passenger or lug-
gage, the seat will be locked in that posi-
tion, disabling the seat position memory
system. To recall the previous position, lift the
seatback lock release lever after removing
the luggage, or letting him or her get out
or sit properly so that the seat can be slid
back to the previous position. However, if
you once slide the seat all the way back-
ward instead of lifting the seatback lock
release lever, the seat can be slid and
locked in the original position.
If the driver’s seat position is adjusted,
the new position is set as the memorized
position.
NOTICE
The seatback angle adjusting lever
and seatback lock release lever can-
not be used at the same time. If they
are used together, the seat lock mech-
anism may be damaged.
