dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident

ceive 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
for precautions on seat belt usage.
