SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING STRAP
Lean forward and pull the strap for-
ward. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the strap.
CAUTION
Align both seatbacks at the same
D
angle when a person sits in the
third seat center position. Other-
wise, the person cannot wear the
seat belt properly and this may
cause serious injuries in a collision.
Avoid reclining the seatback any
D
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
passengers are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats. If you
are reclined, the lap belt may slide
past your hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen or
your neck may contact the shoulder
belt. In the event of a frontal colli-
sion, the more the seat is reclined,
the greater the risk of death or per-
sonal injury.

—Stowing third seats
BEFORE STOWING THIRD SEATS
1. Stow the third seat belt buckles as
shown in the illustration.
This prevents the belt buckles from falling
out when you stow the third seat.
NOTICE
The seat belt buckles must be stowed
before you stow the third seat.
2. To stow the center seat belt, pull it
slightly out of its cover. It will auto-
matically roll back partway. Roll the
seat belt backwards as shown above
and insert it into the slot of its cov-
er. Make sure the tabs are securely
locked in the cover.
NOTICE
The seat belt must be stowed before
you fold the seatback.
