The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted. To raise the rear seatback, follow these steps: 1. Raise the seatback up and make sure it latches. 2. Push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked in position. 3.
