2016 JEEP PATRIOT seat adjustment

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
• Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap
does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in
the strap.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that
the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior
to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be
adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of
a collision.
Front Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button located on the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go then push the adjustment
button and the release button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint
up. To reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes and
push downward. Then adjust it to the appropriate height.

Manual Front Seat Adjustment
On models equipped with manual seats, the adjusting bar is located at the front of
the seats, near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the seat
forward or rearward. Release the bar once you have reached the desired position.
Then, using body pressure, move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the
seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while drivingcould result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury
or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while the vehicle
is parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Manual Seat Height Adjustment
The driver's seat height can be raised or lowered by using a lever, located on the
outboard side of the seat. Pull upward on the lever to raise the seat height or push
downward on the lever to lower the seat height.

The lumbar adjustment handle is located on the inboard or outboard side of the
seatback. Rotate the lever downward to increase the lumbar support or rotate the
lever upward to decrease the lumbar support.
Driver's Seatback Recline
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean
back to the desired angle and release the lever. To return the seatback, lift the lever,
lean forward and release the lever.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seat
To provide additional storage area, each rear seatback can be folded forward. Pull the
strap forward to fold the rear seatback flat.
To raise the seatback, pull the strap forward and lift the seatback into its upright
position.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
