Seat adjustment
■
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is reclined excessively, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing
the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Make sure that the rear seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it

back and forth.
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught between or behind in the rear
●
seatback.
