The
more the seatback is reclined,
the greater the chance that an
occupant's hips will slide under
the lap belt causing serious

pant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and pas-
sengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks
upright.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the
safety belt over the area of the
abdomen where the fetus is
located or above the abdomen
where the belt could crush the
fetus during an impact.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve maximum effectiveness of
the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front and
rear seats should be in an upright
position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot provide proper pro-
tection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front and rear
seats are in a reclined position.
