Reclining
Front
Seatbacks (Bucket Seats
or 60/40
Split-Bench)
KO305
To adjust the seatback,
lift
the lever on the outer side
of the seat. Release
the lever
to
lock the seatback where
you want it. Pull up on the lever and
the seat will go to an upright position.
But don't have a seatback reclined
if your vehicle is moving.
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 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 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.
