Release the lever to lock the seatback. f i l l
up on
the
lever
and
the seat
will go
to an upright position.
But don't have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.
A
CAUTION:
Sitting in
a
reclined position when your vehicle
is
in motion can be dangerous. Even
if
you buckle
up, your safety belts can't do their job when
you're reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can't do
its
job because it
won't 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't 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 i s in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
