Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and/
or airbags) is greatly reduced by reclin-
ing your seatback.
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden stop.
Drivers
ALWAYS sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat-
backs upright.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead, it
will be in front of you.
During an accident, you could be
thrown into the seat belt, causing neck
or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, the
greater chance the passenger's hips
will slide under the lap belt or the pas-
senger's neck will strike the shoulder
belt.
