Power
Reclining Seatbacks
The
vertical power seat control described earlier allows
the
seatback to recline.
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.
But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is
moving.
