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.
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.
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.
Seatback Latches (2-Door Models)
The front seat folds forward
to let people get into the
back seat. Your seatback
will move back and forth
freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will
lock into place.
If your vehicle is parked facing down a fairly steep hill,
the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
To
fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear and lift this latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. The latch must
be
down for the seat to
work properly.
