■Seat adjustment
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion to reduce
the risk of sliding under the lap belt.

forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious in jury in the event of an accident.
■Retuning the folded seatback to the upright position
Pull the seatback up by hand.
If the seatback angle switch is used to return the seatback, the seat may not be
locked in position, resulting in an accident.
After returning the seat, rock the seat back and forth to ensure that it is securely
locked in position.
