and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the
driver.

may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control
of the vehicle.

Be careful not to hit the seat against a passenger, luggage or
the rear seat.

96Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seatback in that position.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a
collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed.
The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the driver and the passenger are sitting up
straight
and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap
belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal
collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with
increasing recline of the seatback.

Releasing the switch will stop the seat cushion in that
