OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS CAUTION Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection when the passengers are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury. Tumbling second seat (for third seat entry) Vehicles with third seat: For easy access to the third seat, tumble the second seat in accordance with the following procedure. Before tumbling the second seat, stow the second seat buckles as shown above. This prevents the buckles from falling out when you fold up the second seat. Vehicles with rear seat audio system or rear seat entertainment system: Before tumbling the second seat, close the headphone input jack lid. 132
