Seat Recline

Reclining:
Sitting in a reclined position while the 
vehicle is moving is dangerous 
because you don’t get the full 
protection from seat belts. During 
sudden braking or a collision, you 
can slide under the lap belt and suffer 
serious internal injuries. For 
maximum protection, sit well back 
and upright.

Unlocked Seatback:
A seatback plays an important role in 
your protection in a vehicle. Leaving 
the seatback unlocked is dangerous as 
it can allow passengers to be ejected 
or thrown around and baggage to 
strike occupants in a sudden stop or 
collision, resulting in severe injury. 
After adjusting the seatback at any 
time, even when there are no other 
passengers, rock the seatback to make 
sure it is locked in place.
