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 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.
Head
Restraints
Slide the head restraint
up
or down
so
that the top
of
the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck
injury
in a crash.
On some models, the head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.

The second and thiru seats
01
your
station wagon have
seatbacks that
can
be folded down to provide more
cargo space.
