Adjusting the second row seatback

WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the event of a collision.

The second row seat reclines for additional comfort. To adjust the second row seatback to the desired position, while seated, pull the release lever up and push the seatback rearward.
