Rear Seats
WARNING:
Do not use the bench seats as a bed when your vehicle is moving. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Do not place any objects on a folded seat. Hard objects may become projectiles in a crash or sudden stop, which may increase the risk of serious personal injury. |
Note:
Rear seat arrangements vary depending on the vehicle.
Recline Adjustment (If Equipped)
|
WARNING:
When reclining the seat backrest forward and backward, take care not to get your hands caught between the seat backrest and the frame, catches or mechanism. Failure to take care may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Make sure that any cargo or objects are not trapped behind the seat backrest. Make sure the seatbelts are not trapped in any way when unfolding the seat backrest up. Failure of an occupant to be able to use a trapped seatbelt increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Make sure that the seat backrest is fully engaged in its catch. A seat backrest which is not fully engaged in its catch could move in the event of an accident. This may result in serious personal injury or death. |
With the seat occupied, pull the lever or strap to recline or raise the seat backrest.
