But
don’t have
a
seatback reclined
if
your
vehicle
is
moving.
Sitting
in
a reclined Po:-. .:on when your vt..-cle
is
in
motion can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle
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.
