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 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 “Precautions on seat
belt usage” later in this section.
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents. .
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger 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.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or da-
mages.

Lumbar support (if so equipped):GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The lumbar support feature provides lower back
support to the driver.
Push the front or back end of the switch to
adjust the seat lumbar area.
SSS0796
Folding front passenger’s seat (if so
equipped)
S35-D-110201-C19042A4-37EC-4F5E-A2F3-CC2DCE9D4829The front passenger’s seatback can be folded
down. Some long objects may be loaded in the
vehicle when the rear seats are also folded
down. (See “Rear seats” later in this section for
folding rear seats.)
To fold the front passenger’s seatback, pull the
reclining lever all the way
*1.
When returning the front passenger’s seatback
to a seating position, lift it up to an upright
position. Pull the reclining lever and lean the
seatback to a proper seating position. (See
“Front manual seat adjustment” earlier in this section.)
WARNING
.
If you fold the front passenger’s
seatback down to carry longer ob-
jects, be sure this cargo is properly
secured and not near an air bag. In a
crash, an inflating air bag might
force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or
even death. Secure objects away
from the area in which an air bag
would inflate. See “Precautions on
Supplemental Restraint System” la-
ter in this section.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the front passen-
ger’s seat when it is in the fold-
down position. Use of these areas
by passengers could result in ser-
ious injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
