Front seat adjustment - manual

Forward and backward

To move the seat forward or backward:

Pull the seat slide adjustment lever up and hold it.
Slide the seat to the position you desire.
Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in place.

Adjust the seat before driving, and make sure the seat is locked securely by trying to move forward and backward without using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not locked properly.

WARNING

Unexpected seat movement

After adjusting a manual seat, always check that it is locked by shifting your weight to the front and back. Sudden or unexpected movement of the driver's seat could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

Seatback angle

To recline the seatback:

Lean forward slightly and lift the seatback recline lever.
Carefully lean back on the seat and adjust the seatback of the seat to the desired position.
Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever MUST return to its original position for the seatback to lock.)

WARNING

Reclining seatback

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

Seat belts must be snug against 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. In an accident, you could be thrown into the seat belt or slide under the seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.

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

Seat height

To change the height of the seat, push the lever up or down.

To lower the seat cushion, push the lever down several times.
To raise the seat cushion, pull the lever up several times.
