Reclining Seat Backrests

Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when fastened, the
seat belts cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt 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 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. So sit well back in
the seat and wear the seat belt
properly.
Do not have a backrest reclined if the
vehicle is moving.
Manual Reclining Seatbacks
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
