Third seat
Lean forward and pull the lock release lever. Then lean back to
the desired angle and release the lever.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a
collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed.
The seat belts provide maximum protection when the
passengers are sitting up straight and well back in the seats.
If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and
apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in
the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may
increase with increasing recline of the seatback.
Folding up second seat for third seat entry
16X186a
For easy access to the third seat, fold up the second seat in
accordance with the following procedure.
Before folding up the second seat, stow the second seat belts as
shown in the illustration.
This prevents the belts from falling out when you fold up the second
seat.
NOTICE
The seat belts must be stowed before you fold up the second seat.
