182 4-3. Adjusting the seats
WARNING
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 A, and adjust the seatback angle.
WARNING
n When operating the rear seatback
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
lKeep other passengers from being hit by the rear seatback.
lDo not put your hands between
the seats or near the moving parts, or let any part of your
body get caught.
