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. In 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 safety belt properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Pull up to raise the restraint. To lower it, push the
release button and push down.
Make sure the head restraint is locked in place after you
adjust it.
Rear Folding Seatback (Option)
You can fold either side of the seatback down in your
Geo for more cargo space. On vehicles with a built-in
child restraint system, only the driver's side rear
passenger seatback can be folded down. Make sure the
front seat isn't reclined. If it is, the rear seatback won't
fold down all the way.
