locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback
and by trying to pull up the edge
of the bottom cushion. Failure to

SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever toward

CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a

up straight and well back in the
seats. If you are reclined, the lap

apply restraint forces directly to the
abdomen or your neck may contact
the shoulder belt. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more the seat
is reclined, the greater the risk of
death or personal injury.

vehicle is moving.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
