Manual Seats Description

IMPORTANTDo not attempt to change the designed seat position by altering the designed seat adjuster-to-floor pan anchor provisions or the seat adjuster-to-seat frame anchor provisions. Changing the seat position could affect the performance of the seat system.

This vehicle is equipped with low-backed front bucket seats with separate head restraints and a 3-passenger split folding rear seat. Seat cushions and seat backs have formed foam pads, which fit the contours of the full-panel seat back frame assembly and the designed contour of the seat cushion frame. There are no front seat forward or rearward relocation provisions provided at either the seat adjuster-to-seat frame or the seat adjuster-to-floor pan anchor attachments.
