on manual recliner seats. Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while
actuating the handle. The seatback may swing forward and hit you, causing
injury. This dump feature allows access to the storage bin behind the seat. To
avoid injury, place your hand on the seatback and actuate the handle, then
position the seatback in the desired position.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
