Front Seats

Front floor bucket seats are equipped with headrest restraints which are adjustable and can be released by the two tabs located at the base of the headrest restraint. Base and mid-level models offer 2-way adjustment. Up-level models offer 4-way adjustment.

Base models offer 2-way manual seat forward/backward adjustment as well as a manual recliner on both the driver and passenger side. The seat forward/backward adjustment is operated by a "towelbar" control located under the front of the seat cushion. The recliner is operated by a lever located on the lower outboard side of the front seat back.

Mid-level and up-level models offer 4-way manual seat adjustment on driver side and 2-way manual adjustment on passenger side as well as a manual recliner on the driver and passenger side. The 4-way adjustment offers the "towelbar" control for forward/backward adjustment as well as a height adjuster lever located on the outer side panel. To operate the height adjuster, ratchet upward on the lever to raise the seat cushion and ratchet downward on the lever to lower the seat cushion. The recliner is operated by the same style of lever as on the base model vehicles.

Up-level models offer a manual lumbar support actuated by a lever on the outboard side of the seat back.

Optional on mid- and up-level models is a power operated driver seat. The power operated drivers seat option offers 4-way seat cushion adjustment (up/down, fore/aft) and a power actuated seat back recliner. The system is operated by a fore/aft motor, a seat riser (up/down) motor and a power recliner motor. The seat adjustments are made using control switches located in the outer side panel. It is not possible to operate more than one motor at a time while adjusting the seat. The forward/backward motor is not serviceable separately and must be replaced by replacing the drivers seat adjuster.
