Getting started Adjusting ! When moving the seats, make sure that there are no items in the footwell or behind the seat. Otherwise you could damage the seats. Manual seat adjustment Seat fore and aft adjustment Lift handle 1. Slide seat to the desired position. Adjust seat to a comfortable seating position that still allows you to reach the accelerator/brake pedal safely. The position should be as far rearward as possible, consistent with ability to properly operate controls. Allow handle 1 to reengage with an audible click. Check for proper engagement before driving. Warning! G According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Thus, we strongly recommend that children be placed in the rear seats whenever possible. Regardless of seating position, children 12 years old and under must be seated and properly secured in an appropriate infant, or toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. For additional information, see "Children in the vehicle" ( page 74). A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and/or the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. 1 Seat fore and aft adjustment 2 Seat cushion tilt 3 Seat backrest tilt 4 Seat height 36
