Protecting Adults
A front passenger should also adjust
the seat-back to an upright position,
but as far from the dashboard as
possible. A passenger who sits too
close to the dashboard could be
injured if the front airbag inflates.
Reclining a seat-back so that the
shoulder part of the belt no longer
rests against the occupant's chest
reduces the protective capability of
the belt. It also increases the chance
of sliding under the belt in a crash
and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the
greater the risk of injury.

Driver and Passenger Safety
Reclining the seat-back too
far can result in serious injury
or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an
upright position and sit well
back in the seat.
See page 145 for how to adjust the
seat-backs.

Adjust the Head Restraints

Before driving, make sure everyone
with an adjustable head restraint has
properly positioned the head
restraint. The restraint should be
positioned so the back of the
occupant's head rests against the
centre of the restraint. A taller
person should adjust the restraint as
high as possible.
