Seats and Restraints 3-5 Lumbar Adjustment Power Lumbar Reclining Seatbacks WARNING (Continued) For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear the safety belt properly. { WARNING Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even when buckled up, the safety belts cannot do their job when reclined like this. The shoulder belt cannot do its job because it will not be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a crash, the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. (Continued) Eight-Way Power Seat Shown, Four-Way Similar A. Lumbar Switch If available, press and hold the front or rear of the switch (A) to increase or decrease lumbar support. Release the switch when the seatback reaches the desired level of lumbar support. Do not have a seatback reclined if the vehicle is moving.
