WARNING - Drivers
 Never adjust the driver’s seat
or seatback when the vehicle
is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of control, and
serious personal injury or
death.
 Do not allow packages or
other objects to interfere with
the normal position of a
seatback. These objects may
prevent the seatback from
locking, which could result in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or
collision.
 Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap portion of the safety
belt snug and low across the
hips.
 Children can be killed or
injured by the passenger air
bag. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12
and under. Make sure all
children use seat belts or
child seats.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT
SEATBACK RECLINERTo recline the seatback;
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up on
the seatback recline lever located on
the outside of the seat, toward the rear.
2. Lean back on the seat and adjust the

CAUTION
Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism or possibly roll out
from under the seat and interfere
with the operation of the brake,
clutch or accelerator foot pedals.
WARNING - Passengers
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt, and potentially
suffering serious personal injury
or death in the event of a
collision, do not use the front
seatback in a reclined position
while the vehicle is in motion. If a
seat is reclined, the occupant’s
hip could slide under or out of
the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt during a
collision. If that occurs, the
occupant may no longer be
properly restrained, and the
safety belt could apply restraint
forces to the unprotected
abdomen resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Therefore, keep the seatbacks in
a comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

knob toward the front of the vehicle.
• To raise the seat cushion, rotate the
knob toward the rear of the vehicle.
LUMBAR SUPPORTYou can adjust the lumbar support by
moving the lever on the side of the
driver’s seatback. Pivoting the lever
toward the front of the vehicle increases
the lumbar support. Pivoting the lever
toward the rear of the vehicle decreases
the lumbar support.

appropriately by using the control knob
on the left side of the seat. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so as to easily control the
steering wheel, pedals and switches on
the instrument panel.

ment in case of an accidents.

WARNING
To minimize the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision
or a sudden stop, both the
driver's and passenger's
seatback should remain in an
upright position while the car is
in motion. The protection
provided by the seat belts and
airbags may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are
reclined. There is a greater risk
that the seat occupants will
slide under the belt resulting in
serious injury if a crash occurs
when the seat-backs are
reclined. The seat belt cannot
provide full protection to an
occupant if the seat back is
reclined.
