Then slide the seat to the desired position with slight body pressure and release the lever. Do not place anything under the seats. It might interfere with the seat −lock mechanism. 2. SEATBACK LEVER ANGLE ADJUSTING CAUTION D After putting back the seat, try pushing the seat forward and rearward to make sure it is secured in place. D Passengers sitting in the third seat must be careful not to accidentally pull the release lever while the vehicle is moving. Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever. For access to the third seat, do this. 1. Pull the lever behind the seatback. The seat will slide forward. 2. Move the seat to the front −most position. After passengers are in, lift up the seatback and return the seat until it locks. CAUTION To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision 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. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing recline of the seatback. 2002 MY SIENNA_U (OM45407U) 47
