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 properly. See
“Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” (P.1-11).
. 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.
. 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 seat back is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.
SEATS

FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.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.3-26)
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.
SSS1051
Forward and backward:
Moving the switch
*1forward or backward
will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch
*2backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
*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.1-11).) Also, the seat- 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
CAUTION
. When folding or returning the seatback
(s) to the upright position, to avoid
injury to yourself and others:
—Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.

.When operating the rear power seatback
return, make sure that the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position.
. Make sure the lid of the rear seat cup
holders is closed before folding the rear
seatback.
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.SSS0828

HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehi-
cle safety systems. They may provide addi-
tional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjust the head re-
straints properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint stalks or remove the
head restraint. Do not use the seat if the
head restraint has been removed. If the
head restraint was removed, install and
properly adjust the head restraint before an
occupant uses the seating position. Failure
to follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraints. This
may increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision.
