IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
(Continued)
The lap part of the belt should be
worn low and snug on the hips,
just touching the thighs. In a
crash, this applies force to the
strong pelvic bones, and you
would be less likely to slide under
the lap belt. If you slid under it,
the belt would apply force to
your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.

CAUTION
(Continued)
Wear your belt fitted closely
against the body. Do not wear
your shoulder belt under your
arm. Make sure the belt is not
twisted across your body.
You could be seriously injured if
your belt is buckled in the wrong
place. Always buckle your belt
into the buckle nearest you.
CAUTION
The shoulder belt should go over
the shoulder and across the
chest. These parts of the body are
best able to take belt restraining
forces.
CAUTION
(Continued)
A safety belt must be used by only
one person at a time. Do not
allow two children to share the
same belt.
Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear seat.
