Raising the Seatback
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
Warning
A seat belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the seat belts are properly
routed and attached, and are not
twisted.
To raise a seatback:
1. Lift the seatback up. Make sure
the center seat belt and latch do
not get trapped behind the seat.
Push the seatback rearward to
lock it in place.
A red tab near the seatback lever
retracts when the seatback is
locked in place.
2. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked
into position.
3. Reconnect the center seat belt
mini-latch to the mini-buckle. Do
not let the belt twist.
4. Pull on the center seat belt to
make sure the mini-latch is
secure.
5. Repeat the steps to raise the
other seatback, if necessary.
When the seat is not in use, it should
be kept in the upright, locked position.
