Seat Belt Precautions
WARNING
• Ensure that the driver and passengers always wear seat
belts and wear them properly. Not wearing a seat belt
correctly, increases the chance of serious injury or death in
a crash, even with airbags.
• On fastening the seat belt, ensure that no part of the belt is
twisted, or is entangled in the door or seat mechanism.
• Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bone structure
of the body and should be worn low across the front of the
pelvis, and across the chest and shoulder. Wearing the
lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be
avoided.
• Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause seri-
ous injury or death in a crash. Ensure the seat belts are
correctly positioned before driving.
• Pregnant women should always wear seat belts to protect
both themselves and their unborn child. The lap belt portion
of the belt should be kept as low as possible across the hips.
A doctor should regularly be consulted as to the advisability
of driving during pregnancy.
• The shoulder portion of the belt must never be worn beneath
the arm, or behind the back.
• Each seat belt assembly is designed for use by one
occupant of adult build, and should not be used by
children unable to meet the requirements described on
page 44.
• Never use one belt around two people, or allow a child to be
carried on a driver's or passenger's lap.
• Refer to Child Restraints section of this handbook (page
44).
• No modifications or additions should be made to the inertia
reel assemblies or seat belts. Do not attempt to adjust the
seat belt tension by altering the mechanism.
• The seat belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
