GETTING STARTED CAUTION! Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat's path. 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 severely injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked. Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked. Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat will not provide the proper stability for passengers. An improperly latched seat cushion could cause serious injury. • • REAR SEATS 60/40 SPLIT SECOND-ROW PASSENGER SEATS To Lower The Seatback • Locate the seatback release lever on the lower outboard side of the seat. • Place one hand on the seatback and apply a gentle pressure. • Lift the seatback release lever with the other hand, allowing the seatback to move forward slightly, and then release the lever. • Gently guide the seatback into the folded position.
