Power 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
moving.
Sitting in a reclined position whel. ;our 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.
