Kia Sportage: Front seat adjustment for manual seat
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control levers located on the outside
of the seat cushion.
Moving forward and backward
Adjust the seat before driving, and make
sure the seat is locked securely by trying
to move forward and backward without
using the lever. If the seat moves, it is
not locked properly.

To move the seat forward or backward:
- Pull the seat slide adjustment lever up
and hold it.
- Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
- Release the lever and make sure the
seat is locked in place.
Reclining seatback

To recline the seatback:
- Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback recline lever.
- Carefully lean back on the seat and
adjust the seatback of the seat to the
position you desire.
- Release the lever and make sure the
seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.)
WARNING
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and/
or air bags) are greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead, it
will be in front of you. During an accident,
you could be thrown into the seat
belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, the
greater chance the passenger's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the passenger's neck will strike or become entangled
in the shoulder belt.
Changing seat cushion height (if equipped)

To change the height of the seat cushion,
push the lever upwards or downwards.
- To lower the seat cushion, push down
the lever several times.
- To raise the seat cushion, pull up the
lever several times.
