Driver’s Seatback Recline
To recline the seatback, lean forward before lifting the
handle, then lean back to the desired position and release
the handle. Lift the handle to return the seatback to an
upright position.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the
shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and
be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.
