Reclining The Seatback - Subaru 2007 B9 Tribeca Owner's Manual

point so as not to trap the legs of passen-
gers sitting on the third-row seat.
It is possible to slide the seat or seat pair
further rearward by releasing the lock that
stops it. To do this, simultaneously pull the
lever under the outboard seat cushion and
turn the lever on the side of the seat cush-
ion outward when sliding the seat or seat
pair.
Once you have released the lock, you can
slide the seat or seat pair back and forth
with only the lever under the seat cushion
pulled. If you slide the seat or seat pair for-
ward of the lock point, you will need to re-
lease the lock again before you can slide
it behind the point.
Then release the lever and move the seat
back and forth to make sure that it is se-
curely locked into place.
If you slide the seat or seat pair aft of
the lock point while the third-row
seat is occupied, be careful not to
trap the legs of the third-row pas-
sengers.

Reclining the seatback

To prevent the passenger from slid-
ing under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, always put the seatback
in the upright position while the ve-
hicle is in motion. Also, do not place
objects such as cushions between
the passenger and the seatback. If
you do so, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding
up over the abdomen will increase,
and both can result in serious inter-
nal injury or death.
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
In a 7-seater model vehicle, never
allow the third-row seat passen-
gers to adjust the seatback of the
second row. Doing so is danger-
ous as the seatback will tilt rapidly
and could injure the passengers.
If the cargo
equipped, be careful not to pinch
your hand between the headrest
and the cargo area cover when
you recline the rear seat.
