Recliner Adjustment
The recline lever is located on the outboard side
of the seat. To recline the seat, lean forward
slightly, lift the lever, lean back to the desired
position and release the lever. To return the
seatback to its normal upright position, lean
forward and lift the lever. Release the lever
once the seatback is in the upright position.
Recline Lever
Manual Adjustment (Rear Seats)
To provide additional storage area, each
second-row passenger seat can be folded flat.
This allows for extended cargo space and still
maintains some seating room if needed.
NOTE:
Prior to folding the second-row passenger seat,
make sure the front seatback is not in a reclined
position. This will allow the second-row seat to
fold easily.
WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving
is dangerous. The sudden movement of the
seat could cause you to lose control. The
seat belt might not be adjusted properly
and you could be injured. Adjust the seat
only while the vehicle is parked.

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.
WARNING!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the
top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile in
a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.

Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.

On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat. In a
collision, the passenger could slide under-
neath the seat belt and be seriously or even
fatally injured.
