WARNING
n When adjusting the seat position
lTake care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are not injured by the moving seat.
lDo not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
lMake sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
lManual seat only: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
n Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Rear seats
Reclining adjustments and folding the seatbacks can be done with lever operation.
Adjustment procedure
Pull the seatback angle adjustment lever, and adjust the seatback angle.
WARNING n When operating the seatback Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
lKeep other passengers from being hit with the seatback.
lDo not bring your hands close to the moving parts or between
the seats, as well as do not let any part of your body get
caught.
