'05 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0409) -Moving second seat for third seat access D 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 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. To fold down the second seat after it has been moved to access the third seat, push the seatback up slightly and then pull the seatback adjusting lever before folding the seatback down. (See "-Folding down second seats" described below for instructions about folding down the second seat.) For easy access to the third seat: 1. Lift the lever on the side of the seatback and fold 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. D After adjusting the seat position, release the lever and try sliding the seat forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position. D After adjusting the seatback, push your body back against the seat to make sure the seat is locked in position. NOTICE Do not fold the second seat seatback forward with the luggage cover hooks attached. CAUTION After putting back the seat, try pushing the seat forward and rearward to make sure it is secured in place. 46 2005 HIGHLANDER from Nov. '04 Prod. (OM48570U)
