Front Seats
The front seat can be adjusted by using 
the control switches located on the 
outside of the seat cushion. Before 
driving, adjust the seat to the proper 
position so that you can easily control 
the steering wheel, foot pedals and 
controls on the instrument panel.
 WARNING
Take the following precautions when 
adjusting your seat:
ś 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 an 
accident.
ś Do not place anything under the 
front seats. Loose objects in the 
driver’s foot area could interfere 
with the operation of the foot pedals, 
causing an accident.
ś Do not allow anything to interfere 
with the normal position and proper 
locking of the seatback.
ś Do not place a cigarette lighter on 
the floor or seat. When you operate 
the seat, gas may exit out of the 
lighter causing a fire.
ś 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.
ś If there are occupants in the rear 
seats, be careful while adjusting the 
front seat position.
ś Make sure that the seat is locked in 
place after the adjustment. If not, 
the seat might move unexpectedly 
resulting in an accident.
 CAUTION
To prevent injury:
ś Do not adjust your seat while 
wearing your seat belt. Moving the 
seat cushion forward may cause 
strong pressure on your abdomen.
ś Do not allow your hands or fingers to 
get caught in the seat mechanisms 
while the seat is moving.
 WARNING
NEVER allow children in the vehicle 
unattended. The power seats are 
operable when the vehicle is turned off.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seats:
ś Always stop adjusting the seats when 
the seat has been adjusted as far 
forward or rearward as possible.
ś Do not adjust the seats longer than 
necessary when the vehicle is turned 
off. This may result in unnecessary 
battery drain.
ś Do not operate two or more seats at 
the same time. This may result in an 
electrical malfunction.
