Front Seats
Power Seat Adjustment
{Warning
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a driver seat while the
vehicle is moving. Adjust the driver seat
only when the vehicle is not moving.
{Warning
The power seats will work with the
ignition off. Children could operate the
power seats and be injured. Never leave
children alone in the vehicle.
To adjust the seat:
.Move the seat forward or rearward by
sliding the control forward or rearward.
.Raise or lower the front part of the seat
cushion by moving the front of the
control up or down.
.Raise or lower the seat by moving the
rear of the control up or down.
Reclining Seatbacks
To recline the seatback:
.Tilt the top of the control rearward to
recline.
.Tilt the top of the control forward to
raise.
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the seat belts
cannot do their job.(Continued)

Seats and Restraints 61
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front outboard
passenger positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of
the belt is on the shoulder and not falling
off of it. The belt should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper shoulder belt
height adjustment could reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in a crash. See
How to Wear Seat Belts Properly057.
Push the release button to move the height
adjuster to the desired position. After the adjuster is set to the desired
position, try to move it down without
pushing the release button to make sure it
has locked into position.
Automatic Seat Belt Tightening System
The vehicle may have the Automatic Seat
Belt Tightening System.
Each time the front seat belts are buckled
while the vehicle is in P (Park) or D (Drive)
and the engine is running or in Auto Stop (if
equipped), the system may activate to
tighten the seat belts.
The system also activates during emergency
braking and/or sudden driving maneuvers
and releases when driving conditions return
to normal.
The system will not activate if the Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control system is
not functioning properly. See
Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0238.
If there is a problem with the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System, a message
displays on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). If a system unavailable message
displays repeatedly or if a service message
displays, see your dealer. Other seat belt
functions are not affected by the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
the front outboard occupants.
Although the seat belt pretensioners cannot
be seen, they are part of the seat belt
assembly. They can help tighten the seat
belts during the early stages of a moderate
to severe frontal or near frontal crash if the
threshold conditions for pretensioner
activation are met.
Seat belt pretensioners can also help tighten
the seat belts in a side crash or rollover
event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash, the
pretensioners and probably other parts of
the vehicle's seat belt system will need to
be replaced. See Replacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash 063.
Do not sit on the outboard seat belt while
entering or exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat. Sitting on the
seat belt can damage the webbing and
hardware.
