vehicle is moving.

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion

and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting
in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not
hang objects off seat back or stow objects in the seatback map

pocket (if equipped) when a child is in the front passenger seat. Do
not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the
seat and the center console (if equipped). Check the “passenger airbag
off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp for proper airbag status. Refer
