To recline the seatback
To adjust the seatback, lean forward slightly, slowly pull up the
lever, then lean backward to the desired position and release
the lever. The seatback will lock in place.
WARNING
!
● To make sure that the seat is securely locked in place
after adjustment, try to move it forward and back-
ward without using the adjustment lever.
WARNING
!
● To reduce the risk of serious or life-threatening inju-
ries in an accident or sudden stop, make sure that
not only the driver’s seat seatback but also all the
other seatbacks are in an upright position while
driving.
● When a person is sitting in the middle seating posi-
tion of the second seat, the two sides of the second
seat must have the same forward/backward position
and the same seatback angle. Otherwise, the seat
belt for the middle seating position may not be ade-
quately effective in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
CAUTION
!
● A spring is loaded in the reclining mechanism of the
seatback, so when operating the lock lever sit in a
position close to the seatback or support the seat-
back with your hand.
