Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.

in place.

ment while driving.


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 too reclined, 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 unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-
ward on the top.

Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
