Protecting Adults and Teens
Reclining the seat-back too
far can result in serious injury
or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an
upright position, and sit well
back in the seat.
Reclining a seat-back so that the
shoulder part of the belt no longer
rests against the occupant's chest
reduces the protective capability of
the belt. It also increases the chance
of sliding under the belt in a crash
and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the
greater the risk of injury.
See page 113 for how to adjust the
seat-backs.

Adjust the Head Restraints

Adjust the driver's head restraint so
the centre of the back of your head
rests against the centre of the
restraint.
Have passengers adjust their head
restraints properly as well. Taller
persons should adjust their restraint
as high as possible.
On vehicle with the rear centre head
restraint
When a passenger is seated in the
rear centre seating position, make
sure the centre head restraint is
adjusted to its highest position.
Improperly positioning head
restraints reduces their
effectiveness and you can be
seriously injured in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are
in place and positioned
properly before driving.
Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from
whiplash and other crash injuries.
See page 114 for how to adjust the
head restraints and how the driver's
and front passenger's active head
restraints work.
