Front Seats

Take the following precautions when adjusting your seat:

  • Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could respond with unexpected movement and may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in a collision

  • Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects, including unsecured floor mats, in the driver's foot area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals.

  • Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position and proper locking of the seatback.

  • Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat.

  • Use extreme caution when picking up small objects trapped under the seats or between the seat and the center console. Your hands might be cut or injured by the sharp edges of the seat mechanism.

  • If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while adjusting the front seat.

  • Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the seat might move unexpectedly resulting in an accident.

To prevent injury:

  • Do not adjust your seat while wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion forward may cause strong pressure on your abdomen.

  • Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms while the seat is moving.

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is moving can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the protections of your restraint system (seat belts and/or airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.

Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance for the passenger's hips to slide under the lap belt or the passenger's neck to strike the shoulder belt.

Never ride with a reclined seatback when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback increases your chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

Driver and passengers should always sit well back in their seats, properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. When the seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt cannot do its job because it will not be snug against your chest. Instead, it will be in front of you. During a collision, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.

The more the seatback is reclined, the greater chance the passenger's hips will slide under the lap belt or the passenger's neck will strike the shoulder belt.

Power seats

The front seat can be adjusted by using the control switches located on the outside of the seat cushion.

NEVER allow children to remain in the vehicle unattended. The power seats are operable when the vehicle is turned off.

To prevent damage to the seats:

  • Always stop adjusting the seats when the seat has been adjusted as far forward or rearward as possible.

  • Do not adjust the seats longer than necessary when the vehicle is turned off. This may result in unnecessary battery drain.

  • Do not operate two or more seats at the same time. This may result in an electrical malfunction.
