Adjusting the front power seat
WARNING: Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the vehicle is moving.
WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.
WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.
WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision.
WARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not hang objects off seat back or stow objects in the seatback map pocket (if equipped) when a child is in the front passenger seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console (if equipped). Check the “passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp for proper airbag status. Refer to Front passenger sensing system in the Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) section for additional details. Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the front passenger seat sensing system.
The control is located on the outboard side of the seat cushion.
Use the control to tilt the seat.
Use the control to move the seat forward, backward, up or down.
Use the control to recline the seatback forward or rearward.
Note: On vehicles with memory seats, to prevent damage to the seat, the power seats are designed to set a stopping position just short of the end of the seat track. If the seat encounters an object while moving forward or backward, a new stopping position will be set. To reset the seat to its normal stopping position:
• After encountering the new stopping position, press the power seat
control again to override.
• Continue pressing the control until it reaches the end of the seat
track.
• Continue pressing the control for approximately two seconds; you will
feel the seat bounce back slightly.
