Your Car's Safety Features

Seats & Seat-Backs

Your car's seats are designed to keep
you in a comfortable, upright
position so you can take full

advantage of the protection offered
by seat belts and the energy
absorbing materials in the seats.

How you adjust your seats and seat-
backs can also affect your safety. For
example, sitting too close to the
steering wheel or dashboard
increases the risk of you or your

passenger being injured by striking
the inside of the car, or by an
inflating airbag.

Reclining a seat-back too far reduces

the seat belt's effectiveness and

increases the chance that the seat's
occupant will slide under the seat
belt in a crash and be seriously
injured.

What you should do:

Move the front

seats as far back as possible, and

keep adjustable seat-backs in an

upright position whenever the car is
moving.

Head Restraints

Head restraints can help protect you
from whiplash and other injuries. For
maximum protection, the back of

your head should rest against the

center of the head restraint.
