WARNING
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan -
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint sys -
tem (seat belts and/or air bags) is
greatly reduced by reclining your
seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against
your hips and chest to work prop -
erly. When the seatback is reclined,
the shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, caus -
ing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger's
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger's neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Changing seat cushion height (for
driver's seat)
OKA4030006L
To change the height of the seat
