pivot the seat-back backward until
it is level with the rear seat

The seat-back of the power
adjustable driver's seat cannot be
level. Do not push the seat-back
down forcibly.

head restraints and securely lock the
seats before driving.
When you return the seat-back to its
upright position, hold the seat-back
to keep it from going up too quickly.
