Front seats

The front seat can be adjusted by using the control switches located on the outside of the seat cushion. Before driving, adjust the seat to the proper position so that you can easily control the steering wheel, foot pedals and controls on the instrument panel.

Take the following precautions when adjusting your seat:

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 an accident.
Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects in the driver's foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals, causing an accident.
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. When you operate the seat, gas may exit out of the lighter causing a fire.
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 position.
Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the seat might move unexpectedly resulting in an accident.

To prevent injury:

Do not adjust your seat while wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion forward may cause strong pressure on your abdomen.
Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms while the seat is moving.

NEVER allow children 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.

Manual adjustment

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 position you desire.
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

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 position you desire.
Release the knob and make sure the seatback is locked in place.

Reclining seatback

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

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.

Drivers 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 an accident, 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.

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

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.

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the protections of your restraint system (seat belts and air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.

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.

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.

Lumbar support

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.
Press switch (3) or (4) to move the support position up or down.
Release the switch once the lumbar support reaches the desired position.

Center seat folding

Move the seat to the rear and headrest to the lowest position.
Keep the seat belt in the center seat in the storage area.
Pull the folding lever (1) above the center seat and fold the seatback forward while the center seat latch (2) is released.
When you want to open the seat, raise the seat and fasten the latch (3).
Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment.

Uprighting seat

When you return the seatback to its upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. If the seatback is returned without holding it, the back of the seat could spring forward resulting in injury caused by being struck by the seatback.

Damaging rear seat belt buckles

When you fold the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seatback, insert the buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion. Doing so can prevent the buckle from being damaged by the rear seatback.

Rear seat belts

When returning the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seatbacks to the upright position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts to their proper position. Routing the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides will help keep the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats.

Walk-in switch

The rear seat passenger may use the switches to control the front passenger seat.

Sliding forward or rearward:

Press the switch (1) or (2) to move the front passenger seat forward or rearward.
Seatback angle:

Press the switch (3) or (4) to recline the front passenger seatback forward or rearward.

Seatback pocket and hook

The seatback pocket and the hook are provided on the back of the front seatbacks.

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