To adjust the seatback angle, push ei-
ther side of the switch.
Releasing the switch will stop the seat-
back at that position.
CAUTION
Align both seatbacks at the same
angle when a person sits in the
third seat center position. Other-
wise, the person cannot wear the
seat belt properly and this may
cause serious injuries in a collision.
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
passengers 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 or
your neck may contact the shoulder
belt. In the event of a frontal colli-
sion, the more the seat is reclined,
the greater the risk of death or per-
sonal injury.
Before stowing the third seats:
Stow the seat belt buckles and center
seat belt. (See “—Stowing seat belt
buckles of the second and third seats”
on page 111 and “—Stowing the center
seat belt of the third seats” on page 112
in this Section.)
Lower the head restraint to the lowest
position. See “Head restraints” on page
104 in this Section.
