CAUTION:
Sitting
in
a
reclined
position
when
your
vehicle
is
in
motion
can
be
dangerous.
Even
if
you
buckle
up,
your
safety
belts
can
not
do
their
job
when
you
are
reclined
like
this.
The
shoulder
belt
can
not
do
its
job.
In
a
crash,
you
could
go
into
it,
receiving
neck
or
other
injuries.
The
lap
belt
can
not
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.
Rear
Seats
Heated
Seats
Your
vehicle
may
have
heated
rear
seats.
The
buttons
are
located
on
the
rear
seat
armrests.
I
(Heated
Seatback):
Press
this
button
to
turn
on
the
heated
seatback.
