WARNING:
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips and the shoulder
belt snug across the chest.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous because you don’t get the full protection
from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide
under the lap belt and suffer serious internal injury, or in a rear end
collision you could fly up and out of the vehicle. For maximum
protection, sit well back and upright.
WARNING:
Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your
seatback, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not
hang objects off seat back or stow objects in the seatback map
pocket (if equipped) when a child is in the front passenger seat. Do
not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the
seat and the center console (if equipped). Check the “passenger airbag
off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp for proper airbag status. Refer
to
Front passenger sensing system
section for additional
details. Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with
the front passenger seat sensing system.
The control is located on the outboard side of the seat cushion.
Move the front of the control up or
down to raise or lower the front
portion of the seat cushion.
