But
don't
have
a
seatback
reclined
if
your
vehcle
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.
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.
