A You can lose control of the
L vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual driver’s seat while the

movement could startle and
canfuse you, or make you push a
pedal when you don’t want to.
Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.

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.

Seats & Safety Belts
Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some
vehicles and adjustable on others. Slide
an adjustable head restraint up or down
so that the top of the restraint is closest
to the top
of your ears. This position
reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a
crash. To
raise
or lower the restraint, push in
the release while you pull up or push
down on the restraint.
Easy Entry Seats
The front seats of your vehicle make it
easy to get in and out of the rear seat.
When you pull up on the recliner
release lever, the seatback
will tilt
forward and the whole seat will slide
forward.
After someone gets into the rear seat
area, move the seatback to its original
position. Then move the seat rearward
until it locks.

A ~f easy entry seat isn’t

sudden stop or crash, the person
sitting there could be injured. And,
even if there is no crash or sudden
stop, a driver sitting in an
unlocked easy entry seat could be
startled by the sudden movement

causing an accident. After you’ve
used it, be sure to push rearward
