Reclining Seatbacks
WARNING
Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the safety 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 safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if the vehicle is moving.
