{WARNING
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,

top of the restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's

3-6 Seats and Restraints
Reclining Seatbacks
{WARNING
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job.
The shoulder belt 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 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 the
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
Manual Reclining Seatbacks

If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.

seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.

1. Lift the lever.
2. Move the seatback to thedesired position, and then
