Power Adjustment

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

WARNING

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

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the seats:

• Always stop adjusting the seat when it has reached the full 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 seat switches 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 the seatback reclined increases the risk of serious or fatal injury in a collision or sudden stop. Drivers and passengers must ALWAYS sit upright in their seats, be properly restrained by the seat belts, and have 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. During an accident, you may slide under the belt, which may result in neck 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 (Driver's Seat)

To change the seat cushion height:

1. Pull the front of the control switch up to raise, or press it down to lower the front of the seat cushion. Pull the rear of the control switch up to raise, or press it down to lower the rear of the seat cushion.

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

Lumbar Support (Driver's Seat, if equipped)

To adjust the lumbar support:

1. Press the front of the switch to increase support, or the rear of the switch to decrease support.

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