1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER

up. Then slide the seat to the desired
position with slight body pressure and
release the lever.
When a person sits on the third seat
center position, adjust both seat cush-
ions to the same position.
Do not place anything under the seats. It
might interfere with the seat−lock mecha-
nism.

you. Then lean back to the desired

2001 SEQUOIA (OM34414U)
CAUTION
Adjust both seat cushions to the
D
same position and align both seat-
backs at the same angle when a
person sits on the third seat center
position. Otherwise, the person can-
not wear seat belt properly and this
may cause serious injuries in a col-
lision.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
D
the lap belt during a collision,
avoid reclining the seatback any
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.
Therefore, in the event of a frontal
collision, the risk of personal injury
may increase with increasing recline
of the seatback.
