5.1.2 Front Seat Slide
Move the seat forward or backward by lifting the adjustment lever
located under the seat front and release once the desired position
is reached.
While adjusting the seat, make sure the latch engages fully and
the seat is locked firmly in the desired position. An unlocked
seat may move in a sudden stop or collision, causing injury to
the person in that seat. Push and pull on the seat to be sure it
is locked.
5.1.3 Front Seat Recline
To adjust the seat back, lift the recline lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back and release the lever at the
desired position. To return the seat back, lift the lever, lean forward,
and release the lever.
The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the occupants are sitting up straight and well
back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or
the shoulder strap may contact your neck. The more the seat is
reclined, the greater the risk of serious injury.
