1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER

up. Then slide the seat to the desired
position with slight body pressure and
release the lever.
2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING
LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever up.
Then lean back to the desired angle
and release the lever.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maxi-
mum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the driver and the
front passenger 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. In the event
of a frontal collision, the more the
seat is reclined, the greater the risk
of personal injury.

most lock position.
2. Pull the seatback angle adjusting le-
ver to unlock and push down the
seatback.
When returning the seatback upright, be
careful to not get hit by the seatback
which will re−bound with considerable
spring force.
After returning the seat to its original
position, be certain to replace the head
restraint.
