WARNING

.

Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive 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 with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat belt properly.
See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-12).

.

After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.

.

Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.

.

To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or death
to people and pets.

.

The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the seat.
If the seatback is reclined, the risk of
sliding under the lap belt and being
injured is increased.

The power seat motor has an auto-reset

overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 sec-
onds, then reactivate the switch.

.

Do not operate the power seat switch

for a long period of time when the
engine is off. This will discharge the
battery.

See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-32)
for the seat position memory function (if so
equipped).

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damages.

back can be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is stopped and the
transmission is in the P (Park) position.

REAR SEATS

WARNING

.

Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an

accident or sudden stop.

.

When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

.

Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.

SSS0894

Reclining

Pull the reclining lever

*

A

and position the

seatback at the desired angle. Release the

To return the seatback, pull the lever.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different
sizes to help obtain proper seat belt fit.
(See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-
12).) The seatback may also be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
parked.
