Seating and Safety Restraints WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the seat's safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision. To adjust the front seatback using the manual recliner: • Lift and hold the handle located on the side of the seat. • Lean against the seatback to adjust it to your desired position. You can recline the seat back or bring it forward. • Release the handle when the desired position has been reached. Front seat armrest The front seat armrest has a locking pin which prevents the armrest from folding down during a collision. If the locking pin has engaged because of a substantial jolt, but no collision has occurred, you can disengage the locking pin by first moving the armrest forward until it stops to align the hole with the locking pin, then by pushing a small tool through the access hole provided. 94 2011 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
