To move the seat forward or backward, 
raise the lever and slide the seat to the

backward.

Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the 
vehicle is moving is dangerous 
because you don’t get the full 
protection from seat belts. During 
sudden braking or a collision, you 
can slide under the lap belt and suffer 
serious internal injuries. For 
maximum protection, sit well back 
and upright.

Reclining the Rear Seatback:
Reclining the rear seatback when the 
third-row seat is occupied is 
dangerous. The rear seatback may hit 
and injure the occupants in the third-
row seat. Don’t recline the rear 
seatback when the third-row seat is 
occupied.
