Seat Slide

(Manually operated seats)

To move a seat forward or backward, raise 
the lever and slide the seat to the desired 
position and release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original 
position and the seat is locked in place by 
attempting to push it forward and 
backward. 

Front Seats

Securing the Seats:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that 
are not securely locked are 
dangerous. In a sudden stop or 
collision, the seat or seatback could 
move, causing injury. Make sure the 
adjustable components of the seat are 
locked in place by attempting to slide 
the seat forward and backward and 
rocking the seatback.

•

The seat-bottom power adjust is 
operated by a motor. Avoid 
extended operation because 
excessive use can damage the 
motor.

•

To prevent the battery from running 
down, avoid using the power adjust 
when the engine is stopped. The 
adjuster uses a great amount of 
electric power.

•

Don’t use the switch to make more 
than one adjustment at a time.

WARNING

CAUTION

Driver’s Seat Adjustment:
Adjusting the driver’s seat while the 
vehicle is moving is dangerous. The 
driver could lose control of the vehicle 
and have an accident. Adjust the 
driver’s seat only when the vehicle is 
stopped.
