SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the
vehicle.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
Manual Adjustment Front Seats
Forward/Rearward Adjustment
The adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats, near
the floor.
Adjusting Bar
26 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the
seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once the desired
position is reached. 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 driving could 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.
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. Pump the
lever upward to raise the seat height, or pump the lever
downward to lower the seat height.

Recline Adjustment
The recline adjustment lever is located on the inboard side
of the seat. To recline the seatback, lift up the recline lever,
lean back until the desired position has been reached, 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.
EZ Entry Feature
The driver and front passenger seats have an EZ entry
feature for rear seat passengers.
1. Pull forward on the release lever located on the out-board side of the seatback.
2. Dump the seatback forward.
3. Slide the seat forward to allow access in and out of the rear seat.
Recline Lever
28 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Lift the seatback upright and push the seat rearward to its
locked position once the rear passengers are seated.
Memory Seat Feature
Both front seats have a memory feature, which can operate
in two ways:
•Memory Function Option 1 (Full Seat Back And Track
Fore/Aft Position Memory) — After using the EZ entry
function, the seatback angle and the track fore/aft
adjuster can both re-lock into the position they were
most recently adjusted to. This is accomplished if the seat is moved fully rearward to its last fore/aft position
on the tracks before the seat back is returned upright.
•
Memory Function Option 2 (Seat Back Only Memory) —
After using the EZ entry function, the seat back may first
be returned upright prior to going back to the last fore/aft
(memory) position on the tracks. This results in the seat
back memory being set only – The track will then be
locked forward of its last set fore/aft memory position. To
then reset the fore/aft track memory feature (to reestablish
Memory Function Option 1), the seat has to be returned
fully rearward to its last fore/aft memory track position as
described in Memory Function Option 1.
Manual Adjustment (Rear Seats)
WARNING!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
Manual Folding Rear Seat
The rear seatbacks have a fold down feature to allow
increased cargo capacity.
