Front Seat Adjustment

[Torq2u]

I'd dearly love to be able to move the front seats forward a tad, or just tilt the backrests a tad further forward to accommodate our mattress when rear seats are folded down (rear conversion).

 

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this please, eg by somehow removing a seat runner stop ?

Hi Graeme,

 

I see you have the Generation 1 model.

Is it the facelifted model or the earlier one ?

 

I ask as2005 was the changeover year.

[Torq2u]

It's gen 1, 2005 facelift, 8 seats.

 

Sorry, should have said all that!

Hi Graeme,

 

Same model as me !

 

I am unable to understand your problem !

 

Is your drivers seat electric ?

 

I run a different configuration now, but do not remember any issues before.

It was 'tight' and headrests needed to be removed before sleep time.

 

can yoy PM me a photo of the seating in sleep mode, please ?

Sorry, just realised, mine's (was) a 7 seater !

So probably cannot help.

[Torq2u]

Ok. Thanks anyway, Roger.

You have to remove the head rests from all of the seats, slide the seats as far forward as they will go then pull the recliner lever and push the backrests backwards as far as possible, if you get an owners manual off ebay or amazon it has lots of useful info in it including the seats

JPNZ Owners Manual.

 

there are two versions, one includes the hybrid, the other does not.

 

Neither are Maintenance Manuals.

Yes I know that, I did not say they were Maintence Manuals. Torq2u wanted to know about the seats and that info is in the manual along with other useful info

My reply was intended to clarify and inform other readers; not yourself.

 

I habitually recommend the JPNZ Owner Manual to all members.
