Front Seatback Latches
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, 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 is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
The front seatbacks fold
forward
to
let people get
into
the
back seat.
To fold a seatback forward, lift the latch located on the
lower backside of the seatback. Then the seatback will
fold forward.
When you return the seatback to its original position,
make sure
the seatback is locked. The latch must be
down for the seat to work properly.
I
I f the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause
injury
to the person sitting there. Always press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it
is
locked.
