I
Sitting’in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt‘can’t do
its
job because it
won’t 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 can’t do its job either. In a crash the
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 your safety
belt properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down
so
that the top of the
restraint is closest
to
the top
of
your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches (2-Door Utility)
The front seatback folds forward
to
let you access the
rear of the vehicle.
To
fold a seatback forward,
pull this lever forward and
fold the seatback forward.
