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
air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining
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 collision or
sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should ALWAYS
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks 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
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder
belt.

Head Restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats

head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers

injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.

death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:

[Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE

[NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint removed or
reversed.
