SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS

All occupants of the vehicle should
wear their seat belts at all times. In-
deed, your province's laws may require
that some or all occupants of the ve-
hicle use seat belts.
The possibility of injury or the severity
of injury in an accident will be de-
creased if this elementary safety pre-
caution is observed. In addition, follow
the other instructions provided in this
section.

Infant or Small Child

Some countries require the use of child
restraint systems for infants and small
children. Whether this is required by law
or not, it is strongly recommended that
a child restraint seat or infant restraint
system be used for infants or small
children weighing less than 18 kilo-
grams (40 pounds).
NOTE:
Small children are best protected in
an accident when properly restrained
by a child restraint system.
B150C02A-AAT

Larger Children

Children who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. The lap portion should be
fastened snug on the hips and as low as
possible. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt out of
position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 13) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely re-
strained by the available lap/shoulder
belt and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children under the
age of 13 should be restrained securely
in the rear seat. NEVER place a child
under the age of 13 in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat in
the front seat of a vehicle.

Restraint of pregnant women
Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul-
der belt assemblies whenever possible
according to specific recommendations
by their doctors. The lap portion of the
belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND
LOW AS POSSIBLE.
!
WARNING- Pregnant
women
Pregnant women must never place
the lap portion of the safety belt over
the area of the abdomen where the
fetus is located or above the abdo-
men where the belt could crush the
fetus during an impact.

Injured Person

A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
