Adjustment of Driver’s Seat and
Front Passenger Seat
Forward and backward adjustment:
lift handle (1); slide seat to desired
position and allow handle to reen­
gage.
Height of seat: raise lever (2); to raise
seat, move seat forward; to lower
seat, move seat backward; allow lever
to reengage.
Seat back position: turn hand­
wheel (3) forward or backward. For
full reclining of backrest, seat should
be moved to one of the forward-most
positions and headrest removed. For
driving, return backrest to upright
position and push seat back.
Replace headrest.
Note:
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height
for proper vision as well as fore-aft
placement and seat back angle to
insure adequate control, reach, oper­
ation, and comfort. The headrest
should also be adjusted for proper
height so that when the cushion is
tipped completely forward, it should
form a cradle behind the seat
occupant’s head. Both the inside and
outside rearview mirrors should then
be adjusted for adequate rearward
vision. Fasten seat belts. Children
under the age of six or under the
weight of 23 kg/50 lb should be
seated in the back seat with an
approved restraint system properly
secured. All seat, headrest, and rear
view mirror adjustments as well as
fastening of seat belts should be
accomplished before the vehicle is
put into motion.
