WARNING

● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident,

you could be thrown into it and receive

neck or other serious injuries. You

could also slide under the lap belt and

receive serious internal injuries.

● For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should

be upright. Always sit well back in the

seat with both feet on the floor and

adjust the seat properly. See “Precau-

tions on Seat Belt Usage” later in this

section.

● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

● Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-

tivate switches or controls. Unattended

children could become involved in seri-

ous accidents.

● The seatback should not be reclined

anymore than needed for comfort. Seat

belts are most effective when the pas-

senger sits well back and straight up in

the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the

risk of sliding under the lap belt and

being injured is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be

sure not to contact any moving parts to

avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

FRONT POWER SEAT

ADJUSTMENT
Operating tips

● The power seat motor has an auto-reset

overload protection circuit. If the motor

stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,

then reactivate the switch.

● Do not operate the power seat switch for a

long period of time when the engine is off.

This will discharge the battery.

See “Automatic drive positioner” in the “Pre-

driving checks and adjustments” section for au-

tomatic drive positioner operation.

Forward and backward

Moving the switch forward or backward will slide

the seat forward or backward to the desired

position.

Reclining

Move the recline switch backward until the de-

sired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback

forward again, move the switch forward and

move your body forward. The seatback will move

forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the

seatback for occupants of different sizes for

added comfort and to help obtain proper seat

belt fit (see “Precautions on seat belt usage” later

in this section). Also, the seatback can be re-

clined to allow occupants to rest when the ve-

hicle is stopped and the transmission is in P

(Park).
