To adjust the seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lean forward slightly, gently pull the
seatback lock lever, then lean backward to a comfortable posi-
tion and release the lever. The seatback will lock in place.
OTE
● You can adjust the seatback forward or backward on either
side separately.
WARNING
!
● To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident or sudden stop, all seatbacks
should be kept in the upright position while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
● Seat belt performance during an accident can be
adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The
more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt
performance will be adversely affected. If the seat
belt is not properly positioned against the body dur-
ing an accident, there is increased risk you will slide
under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
● When a person is sitting in the middle seating posi-
tion of the second row seats, the two sides of the sec-
ond seats must have the same forward/backward
position (vehicles with second row seat slide func-
tion) and the same seatback angle. Otherwise, the
seat belt for the middle seating position may not be
adequately effective in the event of hard braking or
a collision.
CAUTION
!
● The reclining mechanism used in the seatback is
spring loaded, and will cause the seatback to return
quickly to the vertical position when the lock lever is
operated. When pulling the lever, sit close to the
seatback or hold the seatback with your hand to
control its return motion.
