■ Getting in the vehicle
Driver’s seat (vehicles with a seat position memory system)
For easy access to the rear seat, use the seatback lock release lever.
When the seatback lock release le ver is used, the seat’s original
position is memorized, so the seat may be returned to that original
position. However, if the seatback angle adjustment lever is used, the
seat will not return to its original position.
Lift the seatback lock release
lever.
The seatback will fold forward,
and the seat’s slide lock will be
released.
Move the seat all the way for-
ward.

ment lever.

Active head restraints
When the occupant’s lower back
presses against the seatback
during a rear-end collision, the
head restraint moves slightly for-
ward and upward to help reduce
the risk of whiplash on the seat
occupant.
■After passengers have entered the vehicle
Driver’s seat (vehicles with a seat position memory system)
Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback. The seat will be set and
locked to its previous position automatically. If the seat cannot be slid back to
the previous position due to the rear passenger or luggage, the seat will be
locked in that position, disabling the seat position memory system.
To recall the previous position, lift the seatback lock release lever after
removing the luggage, or after having the passenger get out or sit properly
so that the seat can be slid back to the previous position. However, if you
slide the seat further backwards than previous position using the seat posi-
tion adjustment lever, the memory of previous position will be overwritten.
