to prevent movement
of
the front seatback
toward people in the front seat
ONLY
during a sudden
slowing
of the car.
Normally, when you want
to
get in
or
out
of
the rear seat, the seatback can be tilted
forward without unlatching the seatback
by hand. But when the car
is
"nose down",
such
as
on a
very
steep hill, the inertial
latch may keep the seatback from being
moved forward.
If
this happens, pull
rearward slightly on the seatback while
lifting
upon
the seatback release lever. The
release lever
is
either on the outboard
side
or center at the bottom
of
each front
seatback. This will release the latch and
allow the seat back to be
moved
forward.
Check periodically that
eachseatback
release
lever
moves
up and down freely.
If
the lever does not
move
freely,take the
car
to your dealer for service. For the inertial
4
latch
to
work properly, the lever must be
in the
"down" position.
Keep seat belt webbing · and hardware clear
of seat parts when you tilt folding seats
forward or backward. This helps prevent
damage to these belt systems.
RECLINING
SEATBACK-With this
option, the seatback
can
be tilted rearward
from nonna! position by rotating the
control lever located at the outboard
side
of
the seat cushion
or
the inboard rear
of
tlie seat cushion (depending on style
of
seat) and exerting rearward pressure
on
the
seatback.
With
no pressure on the seatback,
allow it to return forward
to
normal
position. The seatback may be kept in the
desired position by releasing the control
lever. However, when necessary, the
seatback
can
be pushed forward without
actuating the control
lever
.
