Manual Seat

Manual Seat (Driver and Passenger):

^ Always wear safety gloves because the edges of the seatback frame and seat adjuster are sharp and may cause injury.

^ Work must be started more than 90 seconds AFTER the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source. If work is started within 90 seconds from disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may deploy.)
