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
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.
