Moving front seats for rear seat entry
■ Getting in the vehicle
Driver’s seat
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.

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
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 the previous position using the seat
position adjustment lever, the memory of previous position will be overwrit-
ten.

Front passenger’s seat
Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback.
The seat will be locked in the rearmost position of the slide range, and the
seatback will be locked in the most upright position. The seat position will be
locked part way if the seatback is lifted while sliding the seat backward.
The front passenger’s seat has no memory function, so it will not return to its
previous position.
■ Active head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to
move. Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may make the inner struc-
ture of the head restraint appear. This does not indicate a problem.
