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.
