Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat
and adjust the seatback to the
position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure
the seatback is locked in place.
(The lever MUST return to its origi-
nal position for the seatback to
lock.)
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even when buckled up, the pro-
tections of your restraint system (seat
belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
NEVER ride with a reclined seat-
back when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you.
During an accident, you could be
thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger's
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger's neck will strike the shoul-
der belt.
