child) can be involved in a serious
accident.

CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts pro-
vide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and
the front passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats. If
you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdomen
or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt. In the event of a frontal
collision, the more the seat is re-
clined, the greater the risk of death
or personal injury.

while the vehicle is moving.

When adjusting the seat, be careful
not to hit the seat against a pas-
senger or luggage.

properly restrained by seat belts
can be severely injured in the event
of emergency braking or a collision.
