Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
v
ehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts
and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback.
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead,
it will be in front of you. During an
accident, you could be thrown into the
seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder
belt.

WARNING

assisted if the steering wheel is held

lane.

may appear late depending on road
conditions. Always have your hands
on the steering wheel while driving.

[ If the steering wheel is held very
lightly, the hands–off warning
message may appear because Lane
Keeping Assist may not recognize
that the driver has their hands on the
steering wheel.

[ If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, the hands-off warning may
not work properly.
