How to Adjust the Front Seats
Warning:
- Never try to adjust a seats while the vehicle is in motion, as it can lead to a loss of control and result in an accident, causing death, serious injury, or property damage.
- Ensure that nothing interferes with the seatback's normal position. Placing items against the seatback or obstructing its proper locking mechanism in any way can lead to serious or fatal injuries during a sudden stop or collision.
- Always drive and ride with your seatback in an upright position and the lap portion of the seatbelt snug and positioned low across your hips. This is the safest position to protect you in the event of an accident.
- To minimize the risk of unnecessary and potentially severe airbag injuries, always sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while maintaining comfortable control of the vehicle. It is recommended that your chest be at least 10 inches (250 mm) away from the steering wheel.

To adjust the seat forward or backward:
