located on the outside corner of each seat-
back. Lean back until the desired angle is
obtained.
To bring the seatback forward again, pull
up on the latch and pull the seatback up-

seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident,
you could be thrown into it and re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries.
• For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat and
adjust the seat belt properly. For ad-
ditional information, see “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-20).

secured, cargo stored on top of a
folded seatback may become a pro-
jectile causing personal injury or ve-
hicle damage.
• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Do not allow more than one person

the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly,
as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment af ter someone else uses

cifically tested for use with the vehicle’s

restraint/headrest has been removed.
If the head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before an
occupant uses the seating position.

crease the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head
