Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and
adjust the seatback to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the
seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.)
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and/
or air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
OBC3030003 OBC3030003
Riding with a reclined seatback increas-
es your chance of serious or fatal inju-
ries in the event of a collision or sudden
stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks upright.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips
and chest to work properly. 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 twined
around the seat belt, causing 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.
