upward on the handle, lean forward and release the
handle at the desired position.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the
shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under the seat belt,
which could result in serious injury or death.
Dump Feature — Manual Recline Seat Only
Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to
swing (dump) forward on manual recliner seats. This
“dump” feature allows access to the storage bin behind
the seat.
WARNING!
•
Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while
actuating the handle. The seatback may swing
forward and hit you causing injury.
•
To avoid injury, place your hand on the seatback
and actuate the handle, then position the seatback
in the desired position.
