■Adjusting the Second Row Passenger's Seats

Second row passenger's seats can be adjusted manually.

Warning
An unsecured seat or seat-back can move out of position or collapse without warning if there is sudden acceleration or stop or in a crash.

A seat or seat-back that suddenly moves or collapses can result in severe injury or death.

Always make sure all seats and seat-backs are securely locked into position before driving.

Ensuring seats are locked into place:

Once the desired seat position and seat-back angles are made, rock the seat back and forth to make sure they are locked into position. There should be no movement.
