Additional Safety Information
Your seat belt and airbag are obviously important parts of your
occupant protection system.
In addition, you should know that sitting upright, adjusting the head
restraints to the proper positions, locking the doors, and stowing
things properly can increase your safety and possibly even save your
life.
Seat-back Position
The seat-backs should be in an upright position for you and your
passengers to get the most protection from the seat belts.
If you recline a seat-back, you reduce the protective capability of your
seat belt. The farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk that
you will slide under the belt in a severe crash and be very seriously
injured.
For information on how to adjust the seat-back, see page

Head Restraint Position
The head restraint can help protect you from whiplash and other
injuries. For the best protection, the top of the head rest should be
even with the top of your ears, or as high as possible. For instructions
on how to adjust the head restraints, see page
