If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,
the memory will be erased and the posi-
tions will have to be set again.
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the
adjustment are being made.
Take care not to select the wrong
button, or the seat could strike the
rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this
happens, you can stop the move-
ment by pressing another driving
position memory switch, or de-
pressing the brake pedal.
CAUTION
Adjustment should not be made
while the vehicle is moving.
Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger or luggage.
After adjusting the seat position,
try sliding it forward and backward

After adjusting the seatback, push
back your body to make sure it is
locked in position.
When returning seats to their origi-
nal position, observe the following
precautions in order to prevent per-
sonal injury in a collision or sud-
den stop:
Be careful not to get your hands or
feet pinched in the seat.
Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback or
by trying to pull up the edge of the
bottom cushion. Failure to do so
will prevent the seat belt from oper-
ating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the seat
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
Folding the seats up will enlarge the lug-
gage compartment. See “—Stowage pre-

CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision 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 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.
For access to the third seat, perform
the following procedure.
Fold down the seatback while pulling the
seatback angle adjusting lever or strap
and swing up the seat.
After passengers are in, return the seat
until it locks securely, and lift up the seat
back by pulling the lever or strap.
CAUTION
After returning the seat, make sure
the seat is securely locked by push-
ing forward and rearward on the top
of the seatback or by trying to pull
up the edge of the bottom cushion.
Failure to do so will prevent seat belt
from operating properly.
