Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is moving can be dangerous. Even
when you are buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and/or
airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips
and chest to work properly.
The more the seatback is reclined, the
greater the chance for the passenger's
hips to slide under the lap belt or the
passenger's neck to strike the shoulder
belt.
WARNING
Never ride with a reclined seatback when
the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases
your chance of serious or fatal injuries in
the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, properly belted,
and with the seatbacks upright.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips
and chest to work properly. When the
seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt
cannot do its job because it will not be
snug against your chest. Instead, it will be
in front of you. During a collision, you
could be thrown into the seat belt,
causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, the
greater chance the passenger's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the passenger's
neck will strike the shoulder belt.
