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 in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
. The seatback should not be reclined
further than necessary for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger 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.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damages.

See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-28)
for the seat position memory function (if so
equipped).
SSS1051
Forward and backward:

will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.
Reclining:

*2forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help obtain
proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) Also, the seat- back can be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked.

ARMREST
Rear armrest
Pull the armrest forward until it is hor-

WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
head restraint/headrest properly, as speci-
fied in this section. Check the adjustment
after someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint/head-
rest stalks or remove the head restraint/
headrest. Do not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed. If the
head restraint/headrest was removed, re-
install and properly adjust the head re-
straint/headrest before an occupant uses
the seating position. Failure to follow these
instructions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraint/headrest. This may in-
crease the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.
