Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
