Front Seatback Latches
I
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.
The front seatbacks fold
forward to let people get
into the back seat.
To
fold a
seatback forward, lift the
latch located on
the lower backside
of
the
seatback. Then the seatback
will fold forward.
When you return the seatback to its original position,
make sure
the
seatback
is
locked. The latch must be
down for the seat to work properly.
If
the seatback isn’t locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury
to the person
sitting
there.
Always
press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
