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:
The 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.
