Hyundai Tucson: Additional seat belt safety precautions / Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections of your restraint system (seat belts and air bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your seatback.
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an accident and to achieve the maximum effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sitting up and the front and rear seats should be in an upright position when the car is moving.
