is greater than or equal to 2.7 inches (67.7 mm) forward
of the rear stop. The seat will return to its previously

stop. The seat will return to its previously set position
when you place the ignition to the ACC or RUN
position.

tible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic is not as
scratch resistant as glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.
