Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled up,
the seat 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 seat belt
properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if the
vehicle is moving.
To adjust the seatback:
.Tilt the top of the control rearward
to recline.
.Tilt the top of the control forward
to raise.

wheel, if equipped. Memory positions
