Power Reclining Seatback {CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can not do their job when you are reclined like this. The shoulder belt can not do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt can not 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. If your vehicle has power reclining seats, the switch is located on the outboard side of both front seats. Press the switch toward the rear of the vehicle to recline the seat and toward the front of the vehicle to raise the seat. 1-5
