UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 63 6 - Way Power Seat Adjuster - Driver's Side Only The 6-way power seat adjuster switch is on the outboard side of the driver's seat. Use this switch to move the seat up or down, forward or rearward, recline or tilt. 3 Seatback Releases - Bench Seat The seatback is equipped with inertia latching mechanisms that automatically lock and prevent the seatback from folding forward during periods of high deceleration, such as hard braking. Lumbar Support Adjustment - Power Seats Only Vehicles equipped with the power bucket seat or the 40/20/40 split bench power are equipped with an adjustable lumbar support on the driver's seat. Rotating the lever on the left side of the driver's seatback increases or decreases the lumbar support. This type of latch mechanism eliminates the need to actuate a release lever to fold the seat forward. In some situations, such as when parked on a steep hill, the inertia latch may lock and manual release of the lock will be necessary.
