SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Power Driver Seat
On some models the driver’s seat can be equipped with six-way power. The power seat controls are located on the outboard side of the driver’s seat cushion. Three switches control the seat movement.
Adjusting The Seat Forward Or Rearward
The seat can be adjusted both forward and rearward. Push the four-way switch seat switch forward or rear- ward, the seat will move in the direction of the switch. Release the switch when you have reached the desired position.

Adjusting The Seat Up Or Down
The height of the seats can be adjusted up or down. Pull upward or push downward on the four-way seat switch, the seat will move in the direction of the switch. Release the switch when you have reached the desired position.
Tilting The Seat Up Or Down
The angle of the seat cushion can be adjusted in four directions. Pull upward or push downward on the front or rear seat switches (located on either side of the four-way switch), the front or rear of the seat cushion will move in the direction of the switch. Release the switch when you have reached the desired position.

WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous.
Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seatbelts and while the vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seatbelt.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
Manual Seat Adjustment
For models equipped with manual seats, the driver and passenger seats can be adjusted forward or rearward by using a bar located by the front of the seat cushion, near the floor.
While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once you have reached the desired position. Then, using body pressure, move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous.
Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seatbelts and while the vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seatbelt.

Front Seat — Manual Recliner
To recline the seatback, lift the recline lever, located on the outboard side of the seat, lean back and release the lever when you reach the desired position.
WARNING! Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could result in serious injury or death.
Recline Lever
Manual Lumbar — If Equipped
Some vehicle may be equipped with a manual lumbar support. The manual lumbar rotary control adjustment is located on the left side of the driver’s seat. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the amount of lumbar support.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
On some models, the front driver and passenger seats may be equipped with heaters in both the seat cushions and seatbacks. There are two heated seat switches that allow the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently. The controls for each seat are located on a switch bank near the bottom center of the instrument panel. You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for HIGH, one for LOW and none for OFF.
Press the switch once to select HIGH-level heating. Press the switch a second time to select LOW-level heating. Press the switch a third time to shut the heating elements OFF.
Lumbar Adjustment
When the HIGH-level setting is selected, the heater will provide a boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation. Then, the heat output will drop to the normal HIGH-level. If the HIGH-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to LOW-level after approximately 30 minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. The LOW-level setting will turn OFF automatically after approximately 30 min- utes.
NOTE: Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex- haustion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.
CAUTION! Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or degrade the material of the seat.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING! The head restraints for all occupants must be prop- erly adjusted prior to operating the vehicle or occu- pying a seat. Head restraints should never be ad- justed while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
Front Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the adjust- ment button, located on the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.
Adjustment Button
Rear Head Restraints
The rear seat is equipped with nonadjustable head re- straints. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things T o Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for information on child seat tether routing.

More cargo space is available by lifting up on the rear seat cushion. The Crew Cab Rear Seat is a 60/40 split cushion and full back. Either cushion can be raised, independently.
