about something. that can damage your
vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and

how to adjust them-and also about

vehicle

confuse you, or male you push a
pedal when you don't want to.

the vehicle
is not moving. Move
the control handle under the
front
of the seat to unlock it. Slide the
seat to where you want it. Then release
the handle and
try to move the seat
with your body, to make sure the, seat is
locked into place.

Reclining Front Seatbacks (CONT.)
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
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.
’7 1
A
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so
that the top of the restraint is closest to
the top
of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a
neck injury in a crash.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatbaclc uprij
:.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
