WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the driver’s
seat or seatback while driving. The
seat or seatback could move unexpectedly,
causing loss of control.
Make sure that the driver’s seat and seatback are properly adjusted before you start driving.
WARNING:
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
make sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
Adjusting Seat Position

Adjusting Seatbacks
Front seat
To adjust the seatback angle of front seats, pull up the lever on the outboard side of the seat, move the seatback to the desired position, and release the lever to lock the seatback in place. After adjustment, try moving the seatback to make sure it is securely locked.

All seatbacks should always be in an
