DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SEATS
Important : Do 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 seat position could affect the performance of the seat system.
This vehicle is equipped with bucket front seats with separate, adjustable head restraints and a three-passenger rear bench seat. Seat cushions and seatbacks have formed foam pads, which fit the contours of the full panel seatback frame assembly and also the designed contour of the seat cushion frame. The front bucket seats have a recline adjustment. The driver seat has a height adjustment and an optional lumbar support.
LUMBAR SUPPORT
The adjustable lumbar support is optional. The lumbar support adjustment knob located on the side of the front seat can be adjusted in order to give more support to the lower back area if needed.
