■ SAFETY BELTS

CAUTION
Do not let anyone ride where
they cannot wear a safety belt
properly. If you are in a crash
and you are not wearing a
safety belt, you can be seriously
injured or killed.
In a crash, a vehicle occupant
who is not restrained properly
could become airborne and
strike and injure another person
in the vehicle, or could be
ejected from the vehicle.

CAUTION
(Continued)
In the same crash, you might
not be injured if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your
passengers' belts are fastened
properly, too.
CAUTION
It is extremely dangerous for
passengers to ride on the
tailgate, even when the vehicle
is traveling at slow speeds.
Serious injuries, death and
ejection from the vehicle can
occur during a sudden vehicle
maneuver or collision.
Do not allow anyone to ride in
any area of the vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and
safety belts.
CAUTION
It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. Be
sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a safety belt
properly.
The safety belt information
included here is intended for
vehicle occupants of adult size and
for older children who have
outgrown booster seats.
Older children who have
outgrown booster seats should
sit in a rear seat, restrained by a
properly fastened safety belt.
