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:
 Push down on the lever several
times, to lower the seat cushion.
 Pull up on the lever several times,
to raise the seat cushion.
Lumbar support (if equipped) 
To adjust the lumbar support:
1. Press the front portion of the
switch (1) to increase support or
the rear portion of the switch (2) to
decrease support.
2. Release the switch once it reach-
es the desired position.
