WARNING
Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident
you could be thrown into it and receive
neck or other serious injuries. You
could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries.For most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be
upright. Always sit well back in the seat
and adjust the seat belt properly. See
``Precautions on Seat Belt Usage'' later
in this section.
