Head Restraints - Saturn 2004 L-Series Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle
is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your safety belts can not do their
job when you are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can not do its job because it
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 can not do its job either. In a
crash the 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 your safety belt
properly.

Head Restraints

Your vehicle has adjustable head restraints on the front
seats. Slide an adjustable head restraint up or down
so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top
of your head. This position reduces the chance of neck
injury in a crash.
The adjustable head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.
