Chevrolet Trax: Reclining Seatbacks
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.

To recline the seatback:
- Lift the lever.
If necessary, move the safety
belt out of the way to access the
lever.
- Move the seatback to the
desired position, then release
the lever to lock the seatback in
place.
- Push and pull on the seatback to
make sure it is locked.
To return the seatback to an upright
position:
- Lift the lever fully without
applying pressure to the
seatback, and the seatback
returns to the upright position.
- Push and pull on the seatback to
make sure it is locked.
Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will
be in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.
