■ 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 .

or serious injury .
●Keep other passengers from being hit with the seatback .
●Do not bring your hands close to the moving parts or between the seats , as well as do not let
