WARNING- Driver respon-
sibility for front seat pas-
senger
Riding in a vehicle with a front seat-
back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
front seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the safety
belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the front
passenger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.

Headrest (front)
The driver's and front passenger's seats

also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.

WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback should not be recom-
mended.

the occupants may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests
may provide protection against
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
