Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. 
 Lean forward slightly and lift up the 
seatback lever.
2.  Carefully lean back on the seat and  adjust the seatback to the position 
you desire.
3.  Release the lever and make sure the  seatback is locked in place. (The lever 
MUST return to its original position for 
the seatback to lock.)
Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the 
v
 ehicle is in motion can be dangerous. 
Even when buckled up, the protection of 
your restraint system (seat belts and air 
bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your 
seatback.
 WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seatback 
when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback 
increases your chance of serious or fatal 
injuries in the event of a collision or 
sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS 
sit well back in their seats, properly 
belted, and with the seatbacks upright. 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 Warmers (if equipped)
Front seat warmers 
Seat warmers are provided to warm the 
seats during cold weather.
 WARNING
The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS 
BURN, even at low temperatures and 
especially if used for long periods of 
time.
Passengers must be able to feel if the 
seat is becoming too warm so they can 
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature 
change or pain to the skin should 
use extreme caution, especially the 
following types of passengers:
[ Infants, children, elderly or disabled 
persons, or hospital outpatients.
[  People with sensitive skin or who 
burn easily.
[  Fatigued individuals.
[  Intoxicated individuals.
[  People taking medication that can 
cause drowsiness or sleepiness.
 WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat 
that insulates against heat when the 
seat warmer is in operation, such as a 
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause 
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a 
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seat warmers 
and seats:
[ Never use a solvent such as paint 
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline 
to clean the seats.
[  Do not place heavy or sharp objects 
on seats equipped with seat warmers.
[  Do not change the seat cover. It 
may damage the seat warmer or air 
ventilation system.
