Reclining The Seatback - Subaru 2010 Tribeca Owner's Manual

passengers sitting on the third-row seat.
It is possible to slide the seat or seat pair
further rearward by releasing the lock that
stops it. To do this, simultaneously pull the
lever under the outboard seat cushion and
turn the lever on the side of the seat
cushion outward when sliding the seat or
seat pair.
Once you have released the lock, you can
slide the seat or seat pair back and forth
with only the lever under the seat cushion
pulled. If you slide the seat or seat pair
forward of the lock point, you will need to
release the lock again before you can
slide it behind the point.
Then release the lever and move the seat
back and forth to make sure that it is
securely locked into place.
CAUTION
If you slide the seat or seat pair aft
of the lock point while the third-row
seat is occupied, be careful not to
trap the legs of the third-row pas-
sengers.
& Reclining the seatback
WARNING
To prevent the passenger from slid-
ing under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, always put the seatback
in the upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. Also, do not
place objects such as cushions
between the passenger and the
seatback. If you do so, the risk of
sliding under the lap belt and of the
lap belt sliding up over the abdomen
will increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.

CAUTION
. In 7-seater models, never allow
the third-row seat passengers to
adjust the seatback of the sec-
ond row. Doing so is dangerous
as the seatback will tilt rapidly
and could injure the passengers.
. If the cargo area cover is
equipped, be careful not to pinch
your hand between the headrest
and the cargo area cover when
you recline the rear seat.
Pull the lever up and adjust the seatback
to the desired position.
Then release the lever and make sure the
seatback is securely locked into place.
