Reclining Front Se,
iacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on
the outer side of the seat. Release the
lever to lock the seatback where you
want it. Pull up on the lever and the seat
will go to its original upright position.
But don't have a seatback reclined if
your vehicle is moving.

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
L
dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can't do their job when
you're reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't 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 can't 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.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
