•Always stop adjusting the
seats when the seat has been
adjusted as far forward or

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 change the height of the seat
cushion:
1. Push the front portion of the con-
trol switch up to raise or down to
lower the front part of the seat
cushion.
Push the rear portion of the control
switch up to raise or down to lower
the height of the seat cushion.
2. Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.

ed by pressing the lumbar support
switch.
• Press the front portion of the
switch (1) to increase support or

up or down when the lumbar support
is in the rearmost position.
In this case, to use the system, slightly
increase support by pushing the front
portion of the switch (1).

Improperly positioned seat belts
may increase the risk of serious
injury in an accident. Take the fol-
lowing precautions when adjust-
ing the seat belt:
•Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones
to absorb the force of the crash,
reducing the chance of internal
injuries.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illus-
tration.
•Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into locked posi-
tion at the appropriate height.
•Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.
