Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the
seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the
event of a collision.
To adjust the front seatback using
the manual recliner:
•Lift and hold the handle located
on the side of the seat.
•Lean against the seatback to
adjust it to your desired position.
You can recline the seat back or
bring it forward.
•Release the handle when the desired position has been reached.
Front seat armrest
The front seat armrest has a locking feature which is engaged when the
armrest is in the up position and a collision with sufficient forward
deceleration causes a locking pin to activate. To disengage this locking
pin, the armrest must be inspected and serviced by a qualified technician
in accordance with the vehicle service manual.
