Head Restraints
Sitl
. - J
in a reclined posi_.- n when your vet..-le
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.
III 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 satety beit
properly.
Adjust your head restraint so that the top
of
the restraint
is ciosesi io i i w iup u i y ~ u c i-te2.d. This
