But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle is
moving.
Sitting
in
a reclined position when your vehicle
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
it’s
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.
