To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of the
seat belts as a safety device, make
sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
Seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer
maximum protection when seatbacks
are in the fully upright position.

The seatbacks can be adjusted to different
angles. To adjust the seatback angle, pull
up the lever on the outboard side of the
seat, move the seatback to the desired
