Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats-how to adjust them, tak\

Front Seats
Manual Seats

2 driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. The sudden moveme\
nt
could startle and confuse
you, or make you push a pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when the ve\
hicle is not
moving.

1 CAUTION
*
4 dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job
Sitting
in a reclined position when your vehicle
is in motion can be
when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do its job because it won’t 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 can’t
do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up
over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at you\
r pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back
in the seat and wear your safety
I belt properly.

same way
as the front manual bucket seats. See "Front Seats" earlier in this

Bench Seats

passengers. They can also be removed to increase storage space.
