Height Adjustment — If Equipped
The front driver and passenger seats 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.
Recline Adjustment
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back to the desired
position and release the lever. To return the
seatback, lift the lever, lean forward and release
the lever.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT (REAR SEATS)
Manual Folding Second Row Seat
The manual folding split rear seat increases the
storage of the rear cargo area.
NOTE:
Prior to folding the rear seat down, it may be
necessary to position the front seat to its
mid-track position. Be sure that the front seats
are fully upright and positioned forward, this will
allow the rear seat to fold down easily.
You may experience deformation in the seat
cushion from the seat belt buckles if the seats
are left folded for an extended period of time.
This is normal and by simply unfolding the seats
to the open position, over time the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape.
Cargo Area Enlargement
Folding both sides of the rear seat provides
additional storage in the rear cargo area.
Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the rear shelf (if equipped).

2. Fully lower the rear seat head restraints.
3. Move the safety belts to the outboard side of
the seat.
4. Pull the seatback release lever to fold both sides of the rear seatbacks completely
forward.
Partial Enlargement Of The Cargo Area
Enlargement of the left side of the cargo area
allows you to carry a single passenger on the right
side of the rear seat, while the enlargement of the
right side allows you to carry two passengers.
Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the rear shelf (if equipped).

2. Fully lower the rear seat head restraints.
3. Move the safety belts to the outboard side of the seat and rest them on the seat belt guide.
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.
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.
WARNING!
WARNING!
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli -
sion, 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.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.

4. Pull the seatback release lever to fold the left or right rear seatback completely forward.

Seatback Release Lever

Seatback Repositioning
NOTE:If interference from the cargo area prevents the
seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty
returning the seat to its proper position.

1. Move the safety belts to the seat belt guides on the top edge of the seat to ensure the
seatbacks properly latch.

2. Lift the seatbacks, pushing them back until they lock on both the latches. Verify the red
notches are no longer visible on the release
lever. If the red notches are visible, the
seatback is not secure.
Rear Seat Latch

POWER ADJUSTMENT FRONT SEATS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The power seat switches are located on the
outboard side of the seat.
Use the switch to move the seat up/down,
forward/rearward, tilt (if equipped) and to set the
angle of the seatback.
Power Seat Switches

NOTE:The power seat adjustment switches can only be
used when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position
and for 20 minutes after the ignition is placed in
the OFF position. The devices will automatically be
deactivated when the ignition is in the OFF position
if the vehicle is locked from the outside.
Adjusting The Seat Forward Or Rearward
The seat can be adjusted both forward and
rearward by using the power seat switch. The seat
will move in the direction of the switch. Release the
switch when the desired position has been
reached.
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 seats and/or
passengers. An improperly latched seat could
cause serious injury.

4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your abdomen. To
remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on
the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is
too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap
belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the seat belt in a collision.

Positioning The Lap Belt

5. Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it
is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
The retractor will withdraw any slack in the
shoulder belt.
6. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle. The seat belt will automatically
retract to its stowed position. If necessary,
slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow
the seat belt to retract fully.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted
lap/shoulder belt.

1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.

2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grab and twist the seat belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that
begins immediately above the latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the
slot at the top of the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing and the seat belt is
no longer twisted.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage
In the driver and outboard front passenger seats,
the top of the shoulder belt can be adjusted
upward or downward to position the seat belt away
from your neck. Push or squeeze the anchorage
button to release the anchorage, and move it up or
down to the position that serves you best.
Adjustable Anchorage Up

As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will
prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a lower
position, and if you are taller than average, you will
prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a higher
position. After you release the anchorage button,
try to move it up or down to make sure that it is
locked in position.NOTE:The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage is
equipped with an Easy Up feature. This feature
allows the shoulder belt anchorage to be adjusted
in the upward position without pushing or
squeezing the release button. To verify the
shoulder belt anchorage is latched, pull downward
on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked
into position.
