5 4 Seat s and s torage
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas-
sengers must never ride in
a moving ve-
hicle with the seatback reclined . Safety
belts and the airbag system only offer
maximum protection whe n the seatback
is up right and the safe ty belts a re prop -
erly positioned on the body. The more
the seatback is reclined, the greate r the
risk of personal injury from an incorrect
seating posit ion and improperly posi-
t ioned safety be lts!
