l
The seat-bottom power adjustment is
operated by motors. Avoid extended
operation because excessive use can
damage the motors.
l
To prevent the battery from running
down, avoid using the power
adjustment when the engine is
stopped. The adjuster uses a large
amount of electrical power.
l
Don't use the switch to make more
than one adjustment at a time.

switch on the outside of the seat to the
front or back and hold it. Release the
switch at the desired position.
q
Seat Recline
WARNING
Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you don't get the full
protection from seat belts. During
sudden braking or a collision, you can
slide under the lap belt and suffer
serious internal injuries. For
maximum protection, sit well back and
upright.
Reclining the Front Passenger Seat
Can Turn Off the Front Passenger Air
Bags:
If your vehicle is equipped with front
passenger seat weight sensors, sitting
in the front passenger seat improperly
out of position or with the seatback
reclined too far while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous as it can take off
weight from the seat bottom and affect
the decision of the front passenger
sensing system. The front passenger
will not have the supplementary
protection of the air bags and
pretensioner, which could result in
serious injury. Always sit upright
against your seatback, with your feet
on the floor.
