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