WARNING
To prevent the passenger from sliding under the seatbelt in the event of a collision , always put the seatback in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion . Also , do not place objects such as cushions between the passenger and the seatback . If you do so , the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase , and both can result in serious injury or death .
