Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems: 14 BEFORE DRIVING CAUTION To avoid damaging the heater element: • Do not subject the front seats to heavy impacts, such as children jumping on them. • Do not cover the seat with any insulating materials such as blankets or cushions. Rear Seats Seat Adjustment WARNING To avoid excessive seat belt slack, which reduces the effectiveness of the seat belts as a safety device, make sure that the seats are adjusted before the seat belts are fastened. Adjusting Seatbacks WARNING All seatbacks should always be in an upright position when driving, or seat belt effectiveness may be reduced. Seat belts are designed to offer maximum protection when seatbacks are in the upright position. 64J019 To adjust the seatback angle of the rear seats: 1) Pull up the lever on the top of a split folding seat. 2) Move the seatback to one of the lock positions. The number of the lock positions depends on the vehicle specification. 3) Release the lever to lock the seatback in position. After adjustment, try moving the seatback to make sure it is securely locked. 2-22 79K21-03E
