But don't have a
seatback
reclined if your vehicle
is moving.
I
Sitting in
a
reclined position when your vehicle is
in eation can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts canV 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. benes.
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.
