go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt cannot 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

For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
your vehicle is moving.
