I
F EQUIPPED

Manual Front Seat Forward/Rearward

Some models may be equipped with manual front
seats. The seats can be adjusted forward or
rearward by using a bar located by the front of the
seat cushion, 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.

height or push downward on the lever to lower the

Manual Front Seat 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.

Recline Lever

Fold-Forward Front Passenger Seat —
If Equipped
This feature allows for extended cargo space.
When the seat is folded flat, it is an extension of
the load floor surface (allowing long cargo to fit
from the rear hatch up to the instrument panel).
The fold-forward seatback has a softback surface
that you can use as a work surface when the seat
is folded forward and the vehicle is not in motion.
Pull upward on the recline lever to fold or unfold
the seat.
NOTE: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.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT (REAR SEATS)
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With
Fold-Flat Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat
can be folded flat. This allows for extended cargo
space and still maintains some rear seating room.
NOTE:Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary
to position the front seat to its mid-track position.
Also, be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat
to fold down easily.
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.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control. Adjust any seat
only while the vehicle is parked.
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.

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.

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.

be properly reconnected prior to the rear center
seat belt being used by an occupant.

1. Grab the mini-latch plate and pull the seat belt over the seat.

WARNING!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make
your injuries in a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt. Follow these
instructions to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.
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.
