Power Adjustment

~2min read

WARNING

NEVER leave children unattended in the vehicle. Power seats can operate when the engine is off.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the seats:

  • Always stop adjusting the seat when it has reached its farthest forward or rearward position.
  • Do not operate the seat adjustment longer than necessary with the engine off. This may cause unnecessary battery discharge.
  • Do not operate two or more seats at the same time. This may cause an electrical malfunction.

Forward and Backward Adjustment

To move the seat forward or backward:

1. Press the control switch forward or backward.

2. Release the switch as soon as the seat reaches the desired position.

Seatback Angle

To recline a seatback:

1. Press the control switch forward or backward.

2. Release the switch when the seatback reaches the desired position.

Reclining Seatback

Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the protection of your restraint system (seat belts and airbags) is significantly reduced if the seatback is reclined.

WARNING

NEVER drive with the seatback reclined. Driving with a reclined seatback increases the risk of serious or fatal injury in a collision or sudden stop.

Drivers and passengers must ALWAYS sit in their seats, properly wearing their seat belts, with the seatbacks in the upright position.

For proper operation, seat belts must fit snugly across the hips and chest. When the seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt cannot perform its function because it will not fit snugly against the chest. Instead, it will be in front of you. In an accident, you may slide under the seat belt, which may result in neck injury or other injuries.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance that the occupant's hips will slide under the lap belt, and the occupant's neck may strike the shoulder belt.

Seat Cushion Height

To change the seat cushion height:

1. • Press the front part of the control switch up to raise, or down to lower, the front of the seat cushion.

• Press the rear part of the control switch up to raise, or down to lower, the height of the seat cushion.

2. Release the switch as soon as the seat reaches the desired position.

Lumbar Support

  • The lumbar support can be adjusted by pressing the lumbar support switch.
  • Press the front of the switch (1) to increase lumbar support, or the rear of the switch (2) to decrease lumbar support.
