'08 Rav4_U (L/O 0802) Flattening front seatbacks (manual seat) 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 the 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 serious injury. 3. SEAT LUMBAR ADJUSTING SWITCH SUPPORT 1. Hold the center of the lever and pull it up. Then slide the rear/second seats fully backward and pull it forward slightly until it locks. 2. Remove the front head restraint. Hold the center of the lever and pull it up. Then slide the front seat further forward than the front −most lock position. Push the control switch on either side. The amount of lumbar support will change while the switch is pushed. 38 2008 RAV4 from Feb. '08 Prod. (OM42726U)
