To return the seatback to an upright
position:
1. Lift the lever fully without
applying pressure to the
seatback.
2. Push and pull on the seatback to
make sure it is locked.
{ CAUTION
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job when reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not 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.

CAUTION (Continued)
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 injuries.
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
when the vehicle is moving.
