Using the manual lumbar support (if equipped)

For more lumbar support, turn the
lumbar support control toward the
front of vehicle.

For less lumbar support, turn the
lumbar support control toward the
rear of vehicle.

Adjusting the front power seat (if equipped)

Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the vehicle is
moving.

Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to avoid injuring
people in a collision or sudden stop.

Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.

Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the
seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the

event of a collision.

Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined
too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the

decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or
death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your
feet on the floor.
