{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even if you buckle up, your safety belts
cannot do their job when you are reclined
like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not 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 cannot 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 belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is moving.
14

Head Restraints
Your front seats may have adjustable head
restraints. If your vehicle has rear seats, they
may have adjustable head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the
restraint is at the same height as the top of
the occupant’s head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.Pull up on the head
restraint to raise it. To
lower the head restraint,
press the button located
on top of the seatback
and push down on the
head restraint.
15

Seatback Latches
Your vehicle may have front seatbacks that fold
forward for easy access to the rear seats or
the storage area behind the seats.
To fold the seatback
forward, push the lever
on the side of the seat
rearward and pull the
seatback forward.{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on the
seatback to be sure it is locked.
To return the seatback to the upright position,
push the seatback all the way back until it latches.
If the seatback was reclined before being folded
forward, it will return to the reclined position.
