Reclining Seatbacks

{
CAUTION
You can lose control of the vehicle
if you try to adjust the seat while
the vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a
pedal when you do not want to.
Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
Seats and Restraints
{
CAUTION
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job when reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not 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 cannot 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 the
safety belt properly.
