CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maxi-
mum protection in frontal or rear col-
lision when the driver and the pas-
senger are sitting up straight and
well back in the seats. If you are
reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in
the event of a frontal collision, the
risk of personal injury may increase
with increasing recline of the seat-
back.
3. DRIVER’S SEAT LUMBAR SUPPORT
ADJUSTING LEVER
Pull the lever forward until you have
reached your desired position. To re-
duce the lumbar support, pull the lever
back toward its original position. The micro computer can memorize the
position of the driver’s seat. Two differ-
ent driving position profiles can be en-
tered into computer’s memory.
Recording a driving position in the
computer’s memory can only be done
when the ignition key is in the ”ON”
position and the automatic transmission
selector lever is in the ”P” position.
SETTING A DRIVING POSITION
1. Adjust the driver’s seat to the de- sired position.
2. While pushing the ”SET” button, push button ”1” or ”2” until the sig-
nal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions
are recorded in the computer ’s memory.
By repeating these two steps and pressing
the remaining button, the driving position
for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select
the desired position and perform step 2.
The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
