2ND ROW BENCH SEAT

ADJUSTMENT

Reclining

To recline the outboard seatbacks, pull up on the

lever and lean back.

To recline the center seat, pull up on the strap

located on the lower right-hand portion of the

seatback and lean back.

The recline feature allows adjustment of the seat-

back for occupants of different sizes for added

comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit.

See “Precautions on seat belt usage” later in this

section. Also, the seatback can be reclined to

allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is

stopped and the transmission is in P (Park).

WARNING

● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident,

you could be thrown into it and receive

neck or other serious injuries. You

could also slide under the lap belt and

receive serious internal injuries.

● For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should

be upright. Always sit well back in the

seat and adjust the seat belt properly.

See “Precautions on seat belt usage”

later in this section.

Tip up for easy entry to the 3rd row

The outboard seating positions on the 2nd row

bench seat can be tipped forward for easy entry

or exit from the 3rd row bench seat. To enter the

3rd row

䊊

, lift up on the seatback latch located

on the upper corner of the seatback on the 2nd

row bench seat and fold the seatback forward at

an angle over the seat base. This will release the

back of the seat so it may be tipped forward.
