Seats 8t Safety Belts A II - Front Seatbacklatches The front seatbacks fold forward to let people get into the back seat. To fold a seatback forward, push the seatback toward the rear as you lift this latch. Then the seatback will fold forward. Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can'tdo 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 b e l t forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the vehicleis in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly. 14
