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 re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap
belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat with both feet
on the floor and adjust the seat belt
properly. See “Precautions on seat
belt usage” later in this section.

After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.

Do not leave children unattended in-side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
