SEAT BELTS

Seat belt restraint system

WARNING
• For maximum restraint sys-
tem protection, the seat belts
must always be used whenev-
er the vehicle is moving.
• Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
• Children age 13 and under
must always be
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 13 must be seated
in the front seat, he/she must
be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind
your back. An improperly
positioned shoulder belt can
cause serious injuries in a
crash.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The shoulder belt should be
positioned midway over your
shoulder across your collar-
bone.
• Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt can damage it.
• Avoid wearing twisted seat
belts. A twisted belt can't do
its job well. In a collision, it
properly
could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt webbing is
straight and not twisted.
• Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If
the belt webbing or hardware
is damaged, replace it.
