Easy Entry Seat

For two-door model vehicles, the right front seat of your
vehicle makes it easy for people to get in and out of
the rear seat.

1. Fold the right front seatback forward after lifting the

seatback latch fully.

2. Slide the seat forward to allow someone to get into

the rear seat area.

3. Push the seatback upright to lock it and slide the

seat fully rearward to lock it.

4. Adjust the seat to the desired position.

5. The front passenger should try to move the seat to

make sure the seat is locked into place.

{

CAUTION:

If the easy entry right front seat isn’t locked, it
can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the
person sitting there could be injured. After
you’ve used it, be sure to push rearward on an
easy entry seat to be sure it is locked.
