I-
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
Head restraints are fixed
on
some models and adjustable
on others. Slide an adjustable 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 (Non-Touring
Bench Seats)
The seatback lever
is
on
the right rear
of
your seat.
To
fold
your
non-touring
seatback forward, pull
up
on
the latch release lever while
pulling the seatback toward
the rear of
the
vehicle.
