Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled up,
the seat belts cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be
there, not at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.

vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back
in the seat and wear the seat belt
properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if the
vehicle is moving.

Memory Seats
Overview
If equipped, the memory seat feature
allows drivers to save their unique
driving positions and a shared exit
position. See“Saving Seating
Positions” later in this section. The
saved positions can be recalled
manually by all drivers, see “Manually
Recalling Seating Positions” later in
this section, and drivers with RKE
transmitters 1 and 2 can also recall
them automatically. See “Auto Seat
Entry Memory Recall” or“Auto Seat
Exit Memory Recall” later in this
section. To enable automatic recalls, turn on Seat Entry Memory and/or
Seat Exit Memory. See
“Enable
Automatic Recalls” under“Vehicle
Personalization Settings” later in this
section. The memory recalls may be
cancelled at any time during the
recall. See “Cancel Memory Seating
Recalls” later in this section.
Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the current
driver by their RKE transmitter
number 1–8. The current RKE
transmitter number may be identified
by Driver Information Center (DIC)
welcome message, “You are driver x
for memory recalls.” This message is
displayed the first few times the
vehicle is turned on when a different
RKE transmitter is used. For Seat
Entry Memory to work properly, save
positions to the 1 or 2 memory button
matching the driver number of this
welcome message. To aid in
identifying transmitter IDs, it is
recommended to only carry one RKE
transmitter when entering the vehicle.
Perform the following if the welcome
message is not displayed:

5. To make the lap part tight, pull upon the shoulder belt.
To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should return
to its stowed position.
Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the
seat belt webbing returns quickly to
the stowed position, the retractor may
lock and cannot be pulled out. If this
happens, pull the seat belt straight out
firmly to unlock the webbing, and
then release it. If the webbing is still
locked in the retractor, see your
dealer.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
seat belt is out of the way. If a door is
slammed against a seat belt, damage
can occur to both the seat belt and
the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front
outboard passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck. Improper shoulder belt
height adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in a
crash. See
How to Wear Seat Belts
Properly 054.
Press and hold the release button
while raising or lowering the height
adjuster to the desired position.
After the height adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it down
without pressing the release button to
make sure it has locked into position.
Automatic Seat Belt Tightening
System
The vehicle may have the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System.
