1. SEATBACK ANGLE
LEVER
Pull the lever up. Then lean back to the
desired angle and release the lever.
CAUTION
Adjustments should not be made
D
while the vehicle is moving.
Avoid reclining the seatback any
D
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
passengers are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats. If you
are reclined, the lap belt may slide
past your hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen or
your neck may contact the shoulder
belt. In the event of a frontal colli-
sion, the more the seat is reclined,
the greater the risk of death or per-
sonal injury.
After adjusting the seat position,
D
try sliding it forward and backward
to make sure it is
position.
After adjusting the seatback, push
D
back your body to make sure it is
locked in position.
