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
s e a t
and wear your d e t y
belt
properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down
so
that the top of the
restraint is closest to
the
top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches (2-Door Models)
