Seat Beits
Important!
Laws in most states and all Canadian
provinces require seat belt use.
All states and provinces require use of
child restraints that complies with U.S.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan­
dard 213 and Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213.1. We strongly
recommend their use.
Warning!
Never ride in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined. Sitting
in an excessively reclined posi­
tion can be dangerous. You could
slide under the seat belt in a colli­
sion. If you slide under it, the belt
would apply force at the abdomen
or neck. That could cause serious
or even fatal injuries. The seat
back and seat belts provide the
best restraint when the wearer is
in an upright position and belts
are properly positioned on the
body.
Seat Belt Warning System
With the key in steering lock posi­
tion 2, an audible warning sounds for
a short time if the driver's seat belt is
not fastened.
When someone enters the car (front)
the reminder lamp, located below the
front interior/reading lamp, flashes for
a short time to remind all occupants to
fasten seat belts.
Warning!
If you are ever in an accident,
your injuries can be considerably
more severe without your seat
belt properly buckled. Without
your seat belt buckled, you can hit
the interior of the vehicle or be
ejected from it. You can be seri­
ously injured or killed.
In the same crash, the possibility
for injury or death is lessened
with your seat belt buckled.
