Adjusting seatback angle
16R003b
Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seatback in that position.
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 in
a frontal or rear collision when the driver is 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. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the
risk of personal injury.
