Safety features of your vehicle Seat
Reclining seatback
To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the
seatback recline lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and
adjust the seatback of the seat 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) are greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback.
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 acci
-
dent, you could be thrown into 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 passen
-
ger's neck will strike or become entan
-
gled in the shoulder belt.
Changing seat cushion height (if
equipped)
To change the height of the seat cush
-
ion, push the lever upwards or down
-
wards.
僅 To lower the seat cushion, push down
the lever several times.
僅 To raise the seat cushion, pull up the
lever several times.
Front seat adjustment for power
seat (if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the out

proper position so you can easily control
the steering wheel, pedals and switches
on the instrument panel.

vehicle. Children might operate features
of the vehicle that could injure them.
