Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
Take care when retrieving items that have fallen down the side, back, front, or underneath the seat. Sharp objects may be present in these areas, which could present a risk of injury. Always stop the vehicle before retrieving items.
Adjust the position of the manual front seats as follows:

Make sure to keep any part of the body away from moving components. Failure to do so could potentially result in serious injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
Adjust the position of the electric front seats as follows:
If seat movement stops unexpectedly during adjustment, check for, and remove any obstructions. Obstructions could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control if not appropriately stored, potentially resulting in injury or death.
If front seat travel is restricted or obstructed, remove the obstruction and reset the seat adjustment mechanism, as follows:
If no obstructions can be found, and normal seat adjustment still cannot be carried out, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases the chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. Reclining the seat greatly reduces the protection of the restraint system, i.e., seat belts and airbags. Seat belts must be snug against the hips and chest to work properly. The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance of an occupant’s hips sliding under the lap section of the seat belt. The occupant’s neck could also strike the shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers should always sit well back in the seat, be properly belted, and have the seatbacks in an upright position.
Never adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or unexpected movement of the seat could cause a loss of vehicle control, potentially resulting in an accident.
The seat, head restraint, seat belt, and airbags all contribute to the protection of the user. Correct use of these components gives greater protection. Therefore, always observe the following points:
Make sure that the driving position is comfortable, enabling full control of the vehicle.
Use the adjuster wheel (1) to set the required height for the armrest. The folding armrest can be stored by moving it to the vertical position.
Before activating the seat memory, make sure that the area immediately surrounding the seat is clear of obstructions. All occupants should be clear of moving parts to avoid personal injury.
When a preferred driving, door mirror, and steering wheel position has been reached, the settings can be stored for future use. See ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL and DOOR MIRRORS.
A driving position only stores during the 5-second active period.
Any existing settings are over-written when storing a new memory position.
The memory function for all passenger seats does not trigger any messages in the instrument panel.
When easy entry or exit is enabled, the driver’s seat automatically lowers when the ignition is switched off and the door is opened. Upon returning to the vehicle, when the driver’s door is closed and the ignition is switched on, the seat returns to its previously set position. The easy entry or exit feature can be enabled or disabled using the Vehicle Settings instrument panel menu. Select Convenience Features, then On or Off from the Easy Entry/Exit menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
