Front Seats
Manual adjustment (if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the levers 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 instru-
ment panel.
Forward and rearward adjustment
To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment lever
and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
3. 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.
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
•
NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unex-
pected 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 oper-
ate the seat, gas may exit out of
the lighter causing a fire.
•
Use extreme caution when pick-
ing 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 mecha-
nism.
WARNING
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 fin-
gers to get caught in the seat
mechanisms while the seat is
moving.
