Seats

CAUTION

¾

  When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fi ngers near the moving parts of 

the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.

¾

  When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo 

gets caught it could damage the cargo.

¾

(Manual Seat)

  When returning a rear-reclined seatback of a front seat to its upright position, make sure 

you hold onto the seatback with your other hand while operating the lever. If the seatback 
is not supported, it will fl ip forward suddenly and could cause injury.

¾

(Power Seat)

  The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation 

because excessive use can damage the motors.

¾

  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.

¾

  Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

   NOTE

  When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seatbelt in its normal position. 
Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
