Manual seat adjustment
The driver's and passenger's seats can be adjusted in a number of ways to provide a comfortable driving and sitting
position.
1. Forward-rearward: Pull the lever up and slide the seat to the position of your choice.

adjusted or during a period of 40 seconds. The power passenger's seat can only be adjusted if the ignition key is in
position I or II, or if the engine is running.
Adjusting the seat
Seat adjustment controls 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the side of the seat can be used to move the seat to the position of your
choice.
1. Move this section of the control up or down to raise/lower the front section of the seat cushion.
2. Move the control forward/rearward to move the seat forward or rearward.
3. Move this section of the control up or down to raise/lower the rear section of the seat cushion.
4. Backrest tilt.
NOTE
The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs, switch off
the ignition (key in position 0) and wait for approximately 20 seconds before operating the seat again.
Emergency stop
If the seat inadvertently begins to move, press any of the buttons to stop the seat.
Programming the seat memory, driver's seat only (option)
Three different seating positions (and the position of the door mirrors) can be stored in the seat's memory. The
memory buttons are located on the outboard side of the driver's seat (see the illustration).
The following example explains how memory button 1 can be programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the
same way.
To program (store) a seat position in memory button 1:
1. Adjust the seat (and door mirrors) to the desired position (see the instructions under "Adjusting the seat").
