Safety features of your vehicle
Transporting an injured person
Do not lie down
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined

ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.

always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.

protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
One person per belt
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve the maximum effectiveness
of the restraint system, all passen-
gers should be sitting up and the
front and rear seats should be in an
upright position when the car is mov-
ing. A seat belt cannot provide prop-
er protection if the person is lying
down in the rear seat or if the front or
rear seats are in a reclined position.
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
