'05 AVALON_U (L/O 0501) -Adjusting front seats (manual seat) NOTICE Do not operate the control switch in more than one dimension at a time. It may cause electrical overload. 1. SEATBACK LEVER ANGLE ADJUSTING Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever. CAUTION Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and front passenger 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. 2. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER Hold the center of the lever and pull it up. Then slide the seat to the desired position with slight body pressure and release the lever. 58 2005 AVALON from Jan. '05 Prod. (OM41408U)
