THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 51
WARNING!
• A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of
internal injury in an accident. The belt forces

across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as
low as possible and keep it snug.
• A twisted belt will not protect you properly. In a
collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the
belt is straight. If you can't straighten a belt in
your vehicle, take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
