62 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust any seat only while the vehicle is parked. Reclining Seats Both the bucket seats and the split-bench seats are equipped with recliners. The reclining mechanism is operated by a control located on the outboard side of the seat. To recline, lean forward slightly before lifting the lever, then push back to the desired angle and release the lever. Lean forward and lift the lever to return the seatback to its normal position. WARNING! Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
