Reclining Back Seat (May require medical necessity) Driving with the seatback reclined makes it difficult to see where you are going and increases the chance of serious injury or death from collision and tip-over. Do not attempt to drive this vehicle with seatback reclined. The optional reclining seat will permit the seatback to recline approximately 45 degrees. Seatback Adjustment for 17" and 19" Reclining Back Seats - To adjust the seatback, locate the recline lever, at the lower right hinge area (See Figure 4K below). Restrain the spring-loaded seatback either with your arm or by sitting in the chair and resting your back against the seatback. Move the spring loaded lever counter clockwise by pulling the lever up or pushing it back, depending on the configuration on your seat, to release the latch and position the seatback until a comfortable position is reached. Release the lever and move the lever clockwise to lock in the position. • The seatback can drop backward when the "recline lever" is not locked. • To avoid a fall from the seat, always make sure the "recline lever" is in the locked position before applying weight to the seatback or arms. 34 Chapter 4 Lock Release Figure 4K - Manual Recline Lever D82007778 REV N 7/10/12
