Getting started

Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat

backrest in an excessively reclined position

as this can be dangerous. You could slide

under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide

under it, the belt would apply force at the ab-

domen or neck. That could cause serious or

even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and

seat belt provide the best restraint when the

wearer is in a position that is as upright as

possible and the belt is properly positioned

on the body.

Never let more people ride in the vehicle

than there are seat belts available. Make

sure everyone riding in the vehicle is cor-

rectly restrained with a separate seat belt.

Never use a seat belt for more than one per-

son at a time.

Read and observe the additional warning no-

tices printed in the "Safety and Security"

section ( page 76) and ( page 84).
