lose control of the vehicle.

luggage or the rear seat.

the driver and the passenger are sitting up straight and
well back in the seats. If you are reclining, the lap belt may

the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision,
the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing
recline of the seatback.
