Seats and Restraints
CAUTION
(Continued)
In the same crash, you might
not be injured if you are buck-
led up. Always fasten your safe-
ty belt, and check that your
passengers' belts are fastened
properly, too.
CAUTION
It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a safety belt
properly.

CAUTION
Do not allow anyone to ride in
any area of the vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and
safety belts.
NOTICE
Before you close the door, make
sure the safety belt is out of the
way. Otherwise, the belt and/or
the vehicle body could be
damaged.
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.
To determine whether a child is
ready to transition out of a booster
into a rear seat, see "Older
Children" under "Child Restraints"
later in this section.
Be sure that if children are too
small to be well restrained by the
safety belt system, that they are
secured in an appropriate child
restraint. See "Child Restraints"
later in this section.
CAUTION
A safety belt must be used by
only one person at a time. Do
not allow more than one person
to share the same belt.
