3-3. Adjusting the seats  
After passengers have entered the vehicle (3-door models)  
Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback. The seat will be set and  
locked to its previous position automatically. If the seat cannot be slid back to  
the previous position due to the rear passenger or luggage, the seat will be  
locked in that position, disabling the seat position memory system.  
To recall the previous position, lift the seatback lock release lever after remov-  
ing the luggage, or after having the passenger get out or sit properly so that  
the seat can be slid back to the previous position. However, if you slide the  
seat further backwards than previous position using the seat position adjust-  
ment lever, the memory of previous position will be overwritten.  
WARNING  
When adjusting the seat position  
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-  
gers are not injured by the moving seat.  
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid  
injury.  
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.  
Seat adjustment  
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not  
recline the seat more than necessary.  
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply  
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the  
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of  
an accident.  
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-  
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.  
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.  
3-door models: Never allow anyone to touch seatback lock release levers  
while the vehicle is moving.
