WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle with the
seat back reclined can result in serious injuries in a
collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or
be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure your seat
back is reclined no more than 30 degrees when
the vehicle is moving.
Calibrating Seats
(If equipped) You can calibrate the driver seat. This is
useful if you find your seat range limited or your driver
profile does not automatically adjust the seat for you.
Navigate to
Controls > Service > Driver Seat, Steering &
Mirrors Calibration and follow the instructions on the
touchscreen.
WARNING:
Ensure nothing is behind or
underneath the driver seat during calibration.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Adjusting Second Row Seats
(Bench)
Second row bench seats can accommodate up to three
passengers. Use the mechanical adjustment lever
located at the side of each outboard seating position to
adjust the seat backs. A bench seat is split 60/40 so the
adjustment lever on the left side moves the seat backs
for both the left and center seats, whereas the lever on
the right side moves the rightmost seat back only. While
pulling and holding the lever, move the seat back to the
desired position, and then release the lever. When
returning a seat back to its upright position, try moving
it forward or back to ensure it is securely latched into
position.
WARNING:
Riding in a moving vehicle with the
seat back reclined can result in serious injuries in a
collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or
be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30
degrees when the vehicle is moving.
Folding Second Row Seats (Bench)
The second row seat backs on bench seats can be
folded fully forward so they lay flat and maximize cargo
space. Pull up the mechanical lever located on the side
of each outboard seat (the same lever you use to recline
the seats, as described previously), then push the seat
back fully forward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split—
therefore, the adjustment lever on the left side folds the
seat backs for both the left and center seats, whereas
the lever on the right folds the rightmost seat back only.
NOTE: Before folding seats fully forward, remove any
items from the seats and the rear footwell. To allow the
seat backs to fold completely flat, you may need to
move the front seats forward.
Moving Second Row Seats (Bench)
NOTE: Only bench seats in seven-seat vehicles can be
moved forward and rearward. The bench seats in five-
seat vehicles are stationary.
Use the mechanical lever located beneath each
outboard seating position to move the second row seats
forward or rearward. The bench seats have a 60/40 split
—therefore, the lever on the left side moves the seat for
the left and center seats, whereas the lever on the right
side moves only the rightmost seat. Pull and hold the
lever while moving the seat forward or rearward. Release
the lever when the seat is at the desired location. Ensure
the lever is locked in place before driving.
