CAUTION
n Seat adjustment
Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
l
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion
l
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
l
After returning the seatback to the upright position (vehicles with seat-
n
back table)

ward on the top of the seatback. Failure to do so will prevent seat belt from
operating properly.
