You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to adjust a manual
driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. The sudden movement
could startle and confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you
don’t want
to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle is not
movina.

Don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.

AN1 01 020
I CAUTION
A sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be 1
I ,,.Igerous. 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
I belt properly. I

To return the seatback to the upright position, just push the sea\

When
you return the seatback to its original position, pull it forward to make
sure the seatback is locked.
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop
r crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
