Seat Recline

WARNING

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.

To change the seatback angle, lean
forward slightly while raising the lever.
Then lean back to the desired position and
release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original
position and the seatback is locked in
place by attempting to push it forward and
backward.

CAUTION

When returning a rear-reclined seatback
to its upright position, make sure you
support the seatback while operating
the seatback lever. If the seatback is not
supported, it will flip forward suddenly
and could cause injury.

Head Restraint

WARNING

Head Restraints Adjustment:
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision. Always
drive with the head restraints inserted
when seats are being used and make
sure they are properly adjusted.
