1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVERS
Hold the center of the lever and pull it
up. Then slide the seat to the desired
position with slight body pressure and
release the lever.
When a person sits in the rear center
position, adjust both seat cushions to
the same position.
2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING
LEVERS
Pull down the lever. Then lean back to
the desired angle and release the lever.
When a person sits in the rear center
position, align all seatbacks
same angle.
CAUTION
Adjustments should not be made
D
while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust both seat cushions to the
D
same position and align all seat-
backs at the same angle when a
person sits in the rear center posi-
tion. Otherwise, the person cannot
wear the seat belt properly and this
may cause death or serious injuries
in a collision.
Avoid reclining the seatback any
D
more than needed. The seat belts
at the
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 ser-
ious injury.
