following
manner:
-
Adjust

tion.

CONTROLS
AND
EQUIPMENT
For
safety
information
on transporting chil-
dren on the
front
passenger
seat be sure
to
read
all
the
information
on "Infant seats,
Convertible seats and
Booster seats," see

~WARNING
•
To
reduce the
risk of
personal
in-
jury in an
accident, front
seat
pas-
sengers must never ride in
a
mov-
ing vehicle with the
seatback re-
clined. Safety belts offer protec-
tion only when the seatback is up-
right and belts
are
properly posi-
tioned on
the body.
The
more
the
seatback is
reclined, the
greater
the risk of
personal
injury from
an
out-of-position
safety belt.
• For
driver's
and
passenger's
protection,
make
sure
front
seats
and seat backs
are
securely locked
in place.
• Never
store
items
under
the
seats. Loose objects can interfere
with the seat latching mechanism
and can
also
cause personal injury
in
an
accident.
