NOTE
When returning a third-row seat to its
original position, also replace the seat
belt to its normal position. Verify that
the seat belt pulls and retracts.
M Seat Recline
WARNING
Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you don't get the full
protection from seat belts. During
sudden braking or a collision, you
can slide under the lap belt and suffer
serious internal injuries. For
maximum protection, sit well back
and upright.
To change seatback angle, lean forward
slightly while pulling the flat-folding
strap. Then lean back to the desired
position and release the strap. Make sure
the seat is securely latched.

Essential Safety Equipment
M Head Restraint
WARNING
Head Restraints Adjustment:
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
Always drive with the head restraints
inserted when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted.
Height adjustment
To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the
desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the stop-
catch release, then push the head restraint
down.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top
parallels the top of the passenger's ears,
never the passenger's neck.
