—Adjusting front seats

ADJUSTING SEAT POSITION

Pull the lock release lever up. Then
slide the seat to the desired position
with slight body pressure and release
the lever.

ADJUSTING SEATBACK ANGLE

Lean forward and pull the lock release
lever. 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
passenger are sitting up straight and
well back in the seats. If you are re-
clined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. Therefore,
in the event of a frontal collision, the
risk of personal injury may increase
with increasing recline of the seat-
back.
