Power Reclining Seatbacks
If the seats have power reclining
seatbacks, the control used to
recline them is located on the
outboard side of the seat.
• To recline the seatback, tilt the
top of the control rearward.
• To bring the seatback forward, tilt
the top of the control forward.
{ CAUTION
Sitting in a reclined position when
your vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if you buckle up,
your safety belts cannot do their
job when you are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job.
In a crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job
either. In a crash the belt could go
up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your
pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
