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.
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.
CAUTION:

Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down
so
that the top
of
the
restraint is closest
to
the
top
of
your
ears.
This
position
reduces the chance
of
a neck injury in a crash.
