To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the
outboard side of the seat and move the
seatback to the desired position. Then
release the lever to lock the seatback in
place. If your front passenger's seat is a
flat folding seat, you must fully raise the
lever to disengage the seatback.

WARNING
Sitting in a reclined position when
your vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even if you buckle up, your
safety belts cannot do their job when
you are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be against your
body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job either.
In a crash, the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would
be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal
injuries.
(Continued)
For proper protection when the vehi-
cle is in motion, have the seatback
upright. Then sit well back in the seat
and wear your safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your
vehicle is moving.

Head Restraints

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of
the restraint is at the same height as the
top of the occupant's head. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a
crash.
