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 maximum protection
when the passengers 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. In the event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of personal
injury.

Vehicles with third seat: For easy access to the third seat,
tumble the second seat in accordance with the following
procedure.
Before tumbling the second seat, stow the second seat
buckles as shown above.
This prevents the buckles from falling out when you fold up the
second seat.
Vehicles with rear seat audio system or rear seat
entertainment system: Before tumbling the second seat,
close the headphone input jack lid.
