Front Seats

To prevent serious injury or death:

Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could respond with unexpected movement and may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in a collision.
Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects, including unsecured floor mats, in the driver’s foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position and proper locking of the seatback.
Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat.
Use extreme caution when picking up small objects trapped under the seats or between the seat and the center console. Your hands might be cut or injured by the sharp edges of the seat mechanism.
If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while adjusting the front seat.
Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the seat might move unexpectedly.

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is moving can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the effectiveness of the restraint system (seat belts and/or airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.

Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance for the passenger’s hips to slide under the lap belt or the passenger’s neck to strike the shoulder belt.

Never ride with a reclined seatback when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback increases your chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

Driver and passengers should always sit well back in their seats, properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. When the seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt cannot do its job because it will not be snug against your chest. Instead, it will be in front of you. During a collision, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater chance the passenger’s hips will slide under the lap belt or the passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder belt.

Manual seat controls

The front seat can be adjusted by using the levers located underneath the front part of the seat or on the outer side of the seat.

Forward and rearward adjustment

To move the seat forward or rearward:

Pull up the seat slide adjustment lever and hold it.
Slide the seat to the desired position.
Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in place. Move forward and rearward without using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not locked properly.

Seatback angle adjustment

To recline the seatback:

Lean forward slightly and lift up the seatback lever.
Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback to the desired position.
Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place.

Seat height adjustment

To change the height of the seat:

Push down on the lever several times, to lower the seat.
Pull up on the lever several times, to raise the seat.

Power seat controls

The front seat can be adjusted by using the control switches located on the outside of the seat cushion.

Never allow children to remain in the vehicle unattended. The power seats are operable when the vehicle is turned off.

To prevent damage to the seats:

Always stop adjusting the seats when the seat has been adjusted as far forward or rearward as possible.
Do not adjust the seats longer than necessary when the vehicle is turned off. This may result in unnecessary battery drain.
Do not operate two or more seats at the same time. This may result in an electrical malfunction.

Forward and rearward adjustment

To move the seat forward or rearward:

Push the control switch forward or rearward.
Release the switch once the seat reaches the desired position.

Seatback angle adjustment

To recline the seatback:

Push the control switch forward or rearward.
Release the switch once the seatback reaches the desired position.

Seat cushion tilt/Seat height adjustment

Seat cushion tilt (1)

Lumbar support (for driver’s seat)

To adjust the lumbar support:

Press the front portion of the switch (1) to increase support or the rear portion of the switch (2) to decrease support.

Do not continue to operate the lumbar support when the lumbar support provides its maximum support. Damage to the lumbar support motor could occur.

Seatback pocket

The seatback pocket is provided on the back of the front seatbacks.

Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the seatback pockets. In a collision, they could come loose from the pocket and injure occupants.
