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. SEAT LUMBAR SUPPORTADJUSTING SWITCH
Push the control switch on either way.
The amount of lumber support will change
as long as the switch is pushed. The micro computer can memorize the
position of the driver's seat and outside
rear view mirror. Two different driving
position profiles can be entered into
computer 's memory.
Recording a driving position in the
computer's memory can only be done
when the ignition key is in the ONº
position and the automatic transmission
selector lever is in the Pº position.
SETTING A DRIVING POSITION
1. Adjust the driver 's seat and outside rear view mirror to the desired posi-
tion.
2. While pushing the SETº button, push button 1º or 2º 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.
