Manual seat adjustment

your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-  
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm  
day can quickly become high enough to  
cause a significant risk of injury or death  
to people and pets.  
WARNING:  
.
Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle  
with the seatback reclined. This can be  
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be  
properly against the body. In an accident,  
you and your passengers could be  
thrown into the shoulder belt and receive  
neck or other serious injuries. You and  
your passengers could also slide under  
the lap belt and receive serious injuries.  
CAUTION:  
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure  
not to contact any moving parts to avoid  
possible injuries and/or damages.  
.
.
.
For the most effective protection while  
the vehicle is in motion, the seatback  
should be upright. Always sit well back  
and upright in the seat and adjust the  
seat properly. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-13).)  
Do not leave children unattended inside  
the vehicle. They could unknowingly acti-  
vate switches or controls. Unattended  
children could become involved in ser-  
ious accidents.  
To help avoid risk of injury or death  
through unintended operation of the  
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave  
children, people who require the assis-  
tance of others or pets unattended in  
FRONT SEATS

Power seat adjustment  
Operating tips:  
.
The power seat motor has an auto-reset  
overload protection circuit. If the motor  
stops during the seat adjustment, wait 30  
seconds, then reactivate the switch.  
To avoid discharge of the battery, do not  
operate the power seats for a long period  
of time when the engine is not running.  
.
For the automatic drive positioner operation (if  
equipped), see “Automatic drive positioner”  
(P.3-34).

are most effective when the passenger sits  
well back and straight up in the seat. If the  
seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under  
the lap belt and being injured is increased.
