angles. To adjust the seatback angle, pull up
the lever on the outboard side of the seat,
move the seatback to the desired position, and
release the lever to lock the seatback in place.

worn on the outside shoulder only,
and never under the arm. Seat belts
should never be worn with the straps
twisted and should be adjusted as
tightly as is comfortable to provide
the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will
provide less protection than one
which is snug.
Make sure that each seat belt buckle
is inserted into the proper buckle
catch. It is possible to cross the
buckles in the rear seat.
Do not wear your seat belt over hard
or breakable objects in your pockets
or on your clothing. If an accident
occurs, objects such as glasses,
pens, etc. under the seat belt can
cause injury.
Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant's
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident. _K
