Adjusting Your Seat Belt
Too high
Shorten
With a 2-point static type seat belt, the length
must be adjusted manually so it fits snugly
around your body. Fasten the belt and pull on
the loose end to tighten. The belt should be
placed as low as possible on your hips, not on
your waist. If the belt is too high, it could
increase the possibility of your being injured in
an accident.

belt system and assure proper operation.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be restrained to minimize
the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden maneuver. According to accident sta-
tistics provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
than in the front seat. Larger children should
use one of the seat belts provided.
You are required by law to use safety restraints
for children. If small children ride in your vehicle
SSX1090U (generally children younger than four years
and/or weighing less than 40 Lbs.) you must put
them in a child restraint system (safety seat).
You must use a commercially available child
restraint system that meets the requirements of
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow
all the instructions provided by the manufac-
turer when installing the child restraint system.
