Power Lumbar Control (Concours Only)
The LUMBAR control is located on the outboard side of
each front seat. It provides additional support to your
lower back and it works independently of the other seat
controls. Use the power seat control first to get the
proper position. Then proceed with the lumbar
adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR
switch forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support. Move the
LUMBAR switch side to
side to raise
or lower the support mechanism to suit your
preference.
Keep in mind that
as your seating position changes, as it
may during long trips,
so should the position of your
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.

moving.
A CAUTION:
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.

Slide the 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.
Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR),
or air bag system.
I A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear
a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and
you’re not wearing
a safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously
injured or killed.
In the same crash, you might
not be
if you are buckled up. Always fasten your
~ safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts
are fastened properly too.

Your vehicle has a light that
comes on as a reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the
Index.)
In most states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a
crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad
one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between. In many of them,
people
who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly
hurt or
killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling
up does
matter
... a lot!
