2ND ROW BENCH SEAT
ADJUSTMENT
Reclining
To recline the outboard seatbacks, pull up on the
lever and lean back.
To recline the center seat, pull up on the strap
located on the lower right-hand portion of the
seatback and lean back.
The recline feature allows adjustment of the seat-
back for occupants of different sizes for added
comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit.
See “Precautions on seat belt usage” later in this
section. Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in P (Park).
WARNING
● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident,
you could be thrown into it and receive
neck or other serious injuries. You
could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries.
● For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat and adjust the seat belt properly.
See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
later in this section.
