SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Important adjustment information
Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat could
respond with an unexpected movement,
and the ensuing loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.
Never ride with the backrest reclined to an
extreme horizontal angle – especially
important for front passengers to remem-
ber. Keep the backrest relatively upright to
minimize the risk of sliding under the
safety belt and sustaining injury in an acci-
dent.

To adjust the seats, see the following sec-
tion.
Longitudinal seat adjustment
1. Lift the handle
2. Push the seat into the desired position
3. After releasing the handle, apply pres-
sure to the seat to ensure that the latch
engages securely.
Make corrections in the longitudinal
adjustment of the seat to ensure that
the safety belt still fits firmly against your
body. If you do not do this, the protection
provided by the safety belt may be
reduced.

Seat height
1. To raise:

ing until the seat reaches the desired
height
2. To lower:
Push the handle repeatedly, continuing
until the seat reaches the desired height.
