Outboard seats

Forward and backward

Pull the center of the bar 1 up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the bar to lock the seat in position.

Reclining

To recline the seatback, pull up on the lever 2 and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull the lever 2 up and lean your body forward.

Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.

The recline feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit (see “Precautions on seat belt usage” later in this section). Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the shift selector is in P (Park).

WARNING
● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
● For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat and adjust the seat belt properly.

See “Precautions on seat belt usage” later in this section.

One touch walk-in function

The 3rd row can be accessed from outside the vehicle by using the seatback release lever located on the 2nd row seatback. If a child safety seat is installed on the passenger’s side of the 2nd row seat, the 3rd row can be accessed without removing the child safety seat.
