Important Safety Precautions

SEATING POSITION
CAUTION
Do not adjust the driver's seat
when the vehicle is moving.
The seat could jerk and cause a
loss of control.
Sitting in a reclined position
when your vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your safety belts
can't do their job when the
seatback is excessively reclined.

SAFETY BELTS
CAUTION
Always wear your safety belt. Be
sure it is adjusted properly at all
times.
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 safe-
ty belt, you can be seriously
injured or killed. 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
(Continued)
Wearing a safety belt improper-
ly could cause serious injury.
The lap part of the belt should
be worn low and snug on the
hips, just touching the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force to
the strong pelvic bones, and
you would be less likely to slide
under the lap belt. If you slid
under it, the belt would apply
force to your abdomen. This
could cause serious or even fatal
injuries.
