Front Seatback Manual
Reclining Control
CAUTION
Do not adjust the driver's seat
when the vehicle is moving.
The seat could jerk and cause a
loss of control.
CAUTION
If the seatback isn't locked, it
could move forward in a
sudden stop or crash. That
could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and
pull on the seatback to be sure
it is locked.
Lift the lever located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion
and tilt the seatback forward or
backward, as desired. Release the
lever to lock the seatback in place.
To return the seatback to its
upright position, lift the lever with-
out pushing on the seatback.
Make sure that the seatback, when
returned to its original position, is
securely locked in place.
Do not have a seatback reclined
while the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION
Sitting in a reclined position
when your vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your seatbelts can’t
do their job when the seatback
is excessively reclined.
You and your passengers could
be seriously injured.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback in the upright posi-
tion.
Then, sit well back in the seat
and wear your safety belt prop-
erly.
