WARNING
.Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined.
This can be dangerous. The
shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and re-
ceive neck or other serious inju-
ries. 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 and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10).
. After adjustment, gently rock in
the seat to make sure it is se-
curely locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could
unknowingly activate switches
or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious
accidents. .
To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.
. The seatback should not be re-
clined any more than needed for
comfort. Seat belts are most ef-
fective when the passenger 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 in-
creased.
CAUTION
.When adjusting the seat posi-
tions, be sure not to contact any
moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.

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
seconds, 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.
SSS0928
Forward and backward (if so equipped):
Moving the switch
forward or back-
ward will slide the seat forward or back-
ward to the desired position.
Reclining (if so equipped):
Move the recline switch
backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
forward.
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 “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) The
seatback may also be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position or N (Neutral) position with
the parking brake fully applied.
