SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
All occupants of the vehicle should
wear their seat belts at all times. In-
deed, your province's laws may re-
quire that some or all occupants of the
vehicle use seat belts.
The possibility of injury or the severity
of injury in an accident will be de-
creased if this elementary safety pre-
caution is observed. In addition, the
following recommendations are made:
B150B01Y-GAT
Infant or Small Child
Some countries require the use of
child restraint systems for infants and
small children. Whether this is required
by law or not, it is strongly recom-
mended that a child restraint seat or
infant restraint system be used for
infants or small children weighing less
than 18 kilograms (40 pounds).
NOTE:
Small children are best protected in
an accident when properly re-
strained by a child restraint sys-
tem.
B150C02A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. The lap portion should
be fastened snug on the hips and as
low as possible. Check belt fit periodi-
cally. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are af-
forded the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the rear
seat. If a larger child (over age 13)
must be seated in the front seat, the
child should be securely restrained by
the available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rearmost
position. Children under the age of 13
should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a rear facing
child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
B150D01S-AAT
Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women to lessen the
chance of injury in an accident. When
a seat belt is used, it should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
