Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.Seat cushion height
To c h a n g e t h e h e i g h t o f t h e s e a t
cushion:
1. Pull the front portion of the control
switch up to raise or push down to

cushion.
Pull the rear portion of the control
switch up to raise or push down to
lower the height of the seat cush-
ion.
2. Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.
