Recliner Adjustment
The recline lever is on the outboard side of the seat. To
recline the seatback, lean back, lift the lever, position
the seatback as desired, and then release the lever. To
return the seatback to its normal upright position, lean
back, lift the lever, lean forward, and then release the
lever once the seatback is in the upright position.
