Reclining Seatbacks
Manual Reclining Seatbacks
{CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a manual driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and confuse you,
or make you push a pedal when you do
not want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only
when the vehicle is not moving.
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on the
seatback to be sure it is locked.
If your seats have manual reclining seatbacks, the
lever used to operate them is located on the
outboard side of the seat(s).

1. Lift the recline lever.
2. Move the seatback to the desired position,

{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even if you buckle up, your safety belts
cannot do their job when you are reclined
like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be against your body.
Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash,
you could go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a
crash, the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright. Then
sit well back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.
Head Restraints
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the
restraint is at the same height as the top of
the occupant’s head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The height of the head restraints can be adjusted
on the rst and second row seats. Pull the
head restraint up or push it down to adjust it.
The head restraints on the third row seat cannot
be adjusted.

Rear Seats
Rear Seat Operation
The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and
straps used to adjust, remove, and reinstall
the seats. By using the levers and straps in the
correct order, you can easily remove the seats
from the vehicle. If your vehicle has second row
captain chairs with airbags, the seats cannot
be removed.
When you put the seats back in the vehicle, follow
the label on the back of the seat for proper location.
Captain Chairs
Your vehicle has second row captain chairs that
can be adjusted forward or rearward as well
as seatbacks that can be adjusted.
Adjusting the Captain Chairs Forward
or Rearward
There are two manual adjustment bars on each
seat. One is located under the front of the
seat cushion. The other one is located under the
rear of the seat cushion.
Lift either bar to slide the seat forward or rearward.
Release the lever. Push and pull on the seat to
make sure it is locked into place.
Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.

sitting there. Always push and pull on the
seatback to be sure it is locked.
