Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint system of the vehicle.
WARNING
Manual Front Seat Forward/Rearward Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward or rearward by using a bar located by the front of the seat cushion, near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar located under the seat cushion and move the seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once you have reached the desired position. Then, using body pressure, move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING
Manual Seat Height Adjustment
The driver’s seat height can be raised or lowered by using the ratcheting handle, located on the outboard side of the seat. Pull upward on the handle to raise the seat, push down on the handle to lower the seat. Several strokes may be necessary to achieve the desired position.
Manual Front Seat Recline Adjustment
To recline the seat, pull on the recline strap and lean forward or backward, depending on the direction you would like the seatback to move. Release the strap when the desired position is reached and the seatback will lock into place.
WARNING
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could result in serious injury or death.
Lumbar Support
The lumbar control knob is located on the outboard side of the front driver seat. Rotate the control forward to increase and rearward to decrease the desired amount of lumbar support.
Front Passenger Easy Entry Seat — Two Door Models
Pull upward on the easy entry lever located on the outboard side of the seatback, and slide the entire seat forward.
To return the seat to a sitting position, fold the seatback upright until it locks and push the seat rearward until the track locks.
NOTE
To provide an additional storage area, each rear seat can be folded flat to allow for extended cargo space.
NOTE
WARNING
To Fold Down The Rear Seat
There are two release levers located on each upper outboard side of the rear seat. The larger of the two release levers folds down the seat and the head restraint simultaneously. The smaller lever folds down the head restraint independently for improved visibility.
To fold the seat, lift upward on the large release lever and slowly fold down the seatback. The head restraint will fold automatically with the seat when this lever is pulled.
NOTE
You may experience deformation in the seat cushion from the seat belt buckles if the seats are left folded for an extended period of time. This is normal. By simply unfolding the seats to the open position, the seat cushion will return to its normal shape over time.
To Raise The Rear Seat
Raise the seatback and lock it into place. Then, raise the head restraint until it locks into place. If interference from the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat to its proper position.
WARNING
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

WARNING
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING
Front Head Restraints
