Raising the Seatbacks
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
Warning
A seat belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the seat belts are
properly routed and attached, and
are not twisted.
To raise a seatback:
1. Lift the seatback up and push it
rearward to lock it in place.
A tab near the seatback lever
retracts when the seatback is
locked in place.
Seats and Restraints
The center rear seat belt may
lock when you raise the
seatback. If this happens, let
the belt go back all the way
and start again.
2. Return the head restraint to the
upright position. See Head
Restraints 0 40.
3. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked
into position.
4. Check if the seat belt is stowed
within hook at side. If not, stow
seat belt in it appropriately.
5. Repeat the steps to raise the
other seatback, if necessary.
When the seat is not in use, it
should be kept in the upright, locked
position.
