Reclining
Seatbacks
The vertical power seat control described earlier
allows
the seatback
to
recline.
But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is
mo
.’-g.
r-
Sitting in a reclined position when your bG,licle
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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
