{ Warning

Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be

dangerous. Even when buckled up, the seat belts cannot do their job.

The shoulder belt will not be

against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash, you

could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.

The lap belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be

there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal

injuries.

For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the

seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear the seat belt

properly.

If equipped, memory seats allow two

drivers to store and recall their unique seat positions for driving the vehicle,

and a shared exit position for getting out of the vehicle. Other feature

positions may also be set, such as power mirrors and power steering

wheel. Memory positions are linked to RKE transmitter 1 or 2 for automatic memory recalls.

Before storing, adjust all available memory feature positions. Turn the

ignition on and then press and release SET; a beep will sound. Then

immediately press and hold 1, 2,

or B (Exit) on the driver door until

two beeps sound. To manually recall these positions, press and hold 1, 2, or B until the saved position is

reached.
