But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is moving.
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.
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.
