Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -
how to adjust them, and also about
reclining front seatbacks, seatback latches
and
the folding rear seatback.
Manual Front Seat
Move the lever under the passenger's
front seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to
where you want it. Then release the lever
and
try to move the seat with your body,
to make sure the seat is locked into place.

backward, lift the lever under the left

A
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
- dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do its job because it won’t be against your body. Instead,
it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt can’t
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.
Front Seatback latches
The front seatbacks fold forward to let
people get into the back seat. To fold a
seatback forward, push
the seatback
toward the rear as
you lift this latch. Then
the seatback will fold forward.
