Maintain a Sitti ng Proper Position
After all occupants have adjusted their seat s and put on their seat belts, it is very
important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet
on the floor, until the vehicle is safe ly parked and the power system is off.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns si deways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the seat can be seriously or fatally
injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.1 Maintain a Sitting Proper Position
3WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat,
with your feet on the floor.
