Seat Controls
One of the best things about the VUE is
the way it makes you feel when sitting in
it. Below are a few seat adjustment features that will help make the seats feel
just right for you and your passengers.
Manual Driver’s Seat Height
Adjustment (if equipped)
The driver’s seat
height adjuster is
located on the leftfront side of your
seat cushion.
To raise the seat:
• Ratchet the lever upward until you
reach the desired height.
To lower the seat:
• Ratchet the lever downward until you
reach the desired height.
Manual Driver’s Seat Lumbar
Adjustment (if equipped)
The driver’s seat lumbar control knob is
located below the front-right side of your
seat cushion (see “A” above). Rotate
the knob to adjust lower back (lumbar)
support of the seat.
Power Seats (if equipped)
If your VUE is equipped with the
Comfort Package, you will find the
power seat control on the door side of
the driver seat, just below your thigh
(see “B” left).
You can raise or lower the front or back
of the seat cushion by moving the end of
the control up or down. To move the
seat forward or rearward, slide the control toward the front or back. To adjust
the height of the seat, move the entire
control up or down.
Manual Front Seatback Recliner
Adjustment
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever
located on the left-rear side of the seat
cushion (see “C” left); then move the
seat to the desired position.
Heated Seats (if equipped)
Your VUE’s heated seats have separate
switches for the driver and front passenger. The switches are located just below
the climate controls. Each switch
includes two settings to heat the seat
cushion and the lower
seatback.
Position 1 warms the
seats, while Position 2
heats the seats to a slightly higher temperature.
Seatbelts
Both front seat positions include heightadjustable shoulder belts. You can
adjust them so that they are centered on
your shoulder or your passenger’s
shoulder. The adjusters are located
above the shoulder belt turning loop.
Move the knob up or down to the positions that are right for each of you.
VUE’s backseats include seatbelt
comfort guides for children who have
outgrown car seats and for smaller
adults. The guides are located on the
back of the seatbacks.
