WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to avoid
injuring people in a collision or sudden stop.

and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.
WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to
slide under the seat's safety belt, resulting in severe personal
injuries in the event of a collision.
WARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your
seatback, with your feet on the floor.
