Bench Seats If you have bench seats in your vehicle, each seat can carry up to three passengers. They can also be removed to increase storage space. The center bench (if not equipped with a built-in child restraint) and rear bench seats can be adjusted forward or rearward by the lever at the front of the seat. Move the seat adjustment lever at the front of the seat toward the passenger's side to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it. Then release the lever and try to move the seat with your body, to make sure the seat is locked into place. The optional touring bench seats come with moveable armrests, individual reclining seatbacks, adjustable headrests and a fold-down center armrest console. To adjust your seatback, pull on the lever on the up lower outside of the seat. The non-touring center bench seat has a pivoting right armrest. The left armrest can also be useda as storage compartment. The center bench seatbacks will recline further back than the rear bench seatbacks.
