CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and
the front passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdomen
or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is re-
clined, the greater the risk of death
or personal injury.
1. Lower the head restraint to the low-
est position and fix the seatback at
the most upright lock position.
2. Pull up either seatback lock release
knob beside the seatback and fold
the seatback down.
CAUTION
Do not sit on or place anything on
the folded seatback to avoid serious
injury while the vehicle is moving.
