Notes
Seats and Restraint Systems
Section
Here you’ll find information about the seats in your vehicle and how to use
your safety belts properly. You can also learn about some things you should
not
do with air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls
This
section tells you about the seats
-
how to adjust them, and fold them up
and down. It also tells you about reclining front seatbacks and head
restraints.
Manual Front Seat
1-1
If
your
vehicle
has
a
manual
bucket,
split
bench, or
full
bench
seat, you can adjust it
with this lever at the
front of the seat.
Slide the lever at the front of the seat toward the passenger side to unlock it.
Using your body, 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 in
place.
Power Driver's Seat (Option)
If
your vehicle has a
power seat on the
driver's side, you can
adjust it with this
switch at the outside
edge of the seat.
You can use the round center switch
knob
to move the seat where you want
it.
To
raise the seat, move the knob
up.
To
lower the seat, move the knob
down.
To
move the seat forward, move the knob toward the front
of
the
vehicle.
To
move the seat rearward, move the knob toward the rear
of
the
vehicle.
You can also raise and lower the front and rear of the seat.
To
raise the front
of
the seat, move the front switch lever
up.
To
lower the front of the seat,
move the front switch lever down.
To
raise the rear
of
the seat, move the
1-2
I
rear switch lever up.
To
lower the rear of the seat, move the rear switch
lever down.
Power Lumbar Adjustment
If
you
have power
lumbar adjustment,
you
can increase or
decrease lumbar
support in an area
of
the lower seatback.
To
increase support, press and hold the front of the rocker switch. Let
go
of
the switch when the lower seatback reaches the desired level of support.
To
decrease support, press and hold the rear of the rocker switch. Let
go
of
the switch when the lower seatback reaches the desired level of support.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
To
adjust the seatback,
lift the front
of
this
lever.
Release the lever to lock the seatback where
you
want it. Pull up on the
front of the lever and the seatback will
go
to
an
upright position.
1-3
But don’t have
a
seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is
moving.
A
CAUTION:
Sitting in
a
reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can
be dangerous. Even
if
you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do
their job when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In
a
crash you
could
go
into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In
a
crash the belt could
go
up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not
at
your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle
is
in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.
Seatback Latches (Base Level Bench Seat)
The front seatback folds forward to let you access the rear
of
the cab. Your
seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come
to
a
sudden stop.
Then
it
will
lock in place.
If
you
have
a
Crew Cab, your front
seatback
is
designed not to fold forward.
Access to the rear
of
the cab
is
available by using the rear doors.
