Release the lever to lock the seatback. fill
up
on
the
lever
and
the seat
will
go
to
an
upright
position.
But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is
moving.
A
CAUTION:
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.
