Easy Entry Seat (2-Door Utility) 1 If any easyentry seat isn't locked, it can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting there could beinjured. And, evenif there is nocrash or sudden stop, a driver sitting in an unlocked easy entry seat could be startled by the sudden movement and hit the wrong control or pedal, causing an accident. After you've used it, be sure to push rearward on any easy entry seat to be sure it is locked. The driver and passenger front bucket seat and the 60/40 split bench seat of your vehicle have an easy entry feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the rear seat. On vehicles equipped with the power driver's seat, only the passenger's front seat will have the easy entry feature. To operate the seat, pull forward on the topof the lever located at the side of the seatback, and tilt the back forward toward the front of the vehicle. When you do, the seat bottom will release. Just pull or push the seat forward until it stops. To return the seat to its regularposition, return the seatback to its upright position, then push the whole seat rearward until it latches. After returning the seat to itsregular position, try to move the seat with your body, to make surethe seat is locked into place. 1-7
