WARNING
•
Always make sure larger chil-
dren's seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
•
NEVER allow the shoulder
belt to contact the child's
neck or face.
•
Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
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.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. During
an accident, you could be thrown into
the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger's
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger's neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
WARNING
•
NEVER ride with a reclined
seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
•
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
•
Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
