The recline lever is located on the outboard side of the
seat. To recline the seat, lean forward slightly, lift the
lever, lean back to the desired position and release the
lever. To return the seatback to its normal upright
position, lean forward and lift the lever. Release the
lever once the seatback is in the upright position.

WARNING!

• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous.The sudden move-

ment of the seat could cause you to lose control.
The seat belt might not be adjusted properly and
you could be injured. Adjust the seat only while
the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your
chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use
the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

DRIVER'S SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (for
versions/markets, where provided)
The seat height control lever is located on the out-
board side of the seat. Raise the lever to raise the seat.
Lower the lever to lower the seat. The total seat travel
is approximately 55 mm. (fig. 22)

FOLD-FLAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This feature allows for extended cargo space. When
the seat is folded flat, it is an extension of the load floor
surface (allowing long cargo to fit from the rear hatch
up to the instrument panel). The fold-flat seatback also
has a hardback surface that you can use as a work
surface when the seat is folded flat and the vehicle is
not in motion. (fig. 23)
