Getting to Know Your VUE

4

Seat Controls

One of the best things about the VUE is

the way it makes you feel when sitting in

it. Below are a few seat adjustment fea-

tures that will help make the seats feel

just right for you and your passengers.

Manual Driver’s Seat Height

Adjustment (if equipped)

The driver’s seat

height adjuster is

located on the left-

front side of your

seat cushion.

To raise the seat:

• Ratchet the lever upward until you 

reach the desired height.

To lower the seat:

• Ratchet the lever downward until you 

reach the desired height.

Manual Driver’s Seat Lumbar

Adjustment (if equipped)

The driver’s seat lumbar control knob is

located below the front-right side of your

seat cushion (see “A” above). Rotate 

the knob to adjust lower back (lumbar)

support of the seat.

Power Seats (if equipped)

If your VUE is equipped with the

Comfort Package, you will find the

power seat control on the door side of

the driver seat, just below your thigh

(see “B” left).

You can raise or lower the front or back

of the seat cushion by moving the end of

the control up or down. To move the

seat forward or rearward, slide the con-

trol toward the front or back. To adjust

the height of the seat, move the entire

control up or down.

Manual Front Seatback Recliner

Adjustment

To adjust the seatback, lift the lever

located on the left-rear side of the seat

cushion (see “C” left); then move the

seat to the desired position.

Heated Seats (if equipped)

Your VUE’s heated seats have separate

switches for the driver and front passen-

ger. The switches are located just below

the climate controls. Each switch

includes two settings to heat the seat

cushion and the lower

seatback. 

Position 1 warms the

seats, while Position 2

heats the seats to a slight-

ly higher temperature.

Seatbelts

Both front seat positions include height-

adjustable shoulder belts. You can

adjust them so that they are centered on

your shoulder or your passenger’s

shoulder. The adjusters are located

above the shoulder belt turning loop.

Move the knob up or down to the posi-

tions that are right for each of you.

VUE’s backseats include seatbelt 

comfort guides for children who have

outgrown car seats and for smaller

adults. The guides are located on the

back of the seatbacks.

See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.
