SSA1090T
With a 2-point static type seat belt, the length
must be adjusted manually so it fits snugly
around your body. Fasten the belt and pull on
the loose end to tighten. The belt should be
placed as low as possible on your hips, not on
your waist. If the belt is too high, it could
increase the possibility of your being injured in
an accident.

When you want to release the seat belt, press
the button in the locking buckle.
WARNING:
The center lap belt latching mechanism is
different from those for the rear seat shoul-
der belts. When fastening the rear seat shoul-
der belts or the center lap belt, make sure
they are inserted into the correct buckles to
obtain maximum protection from the seat
belt system and assure proper operation.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(If Installed)
Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat. Larger children not in a child restraint
should use one of the seat belts provided.
You are required by law to use safety restraints
for children. If small children ride in your vehicle
you must put them in a child restraint system
(safety seat).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed
in the rear seat. Never install a child or
infant seat on the front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger side airbag to deploy, it could
severely injure or kill an infant or child
seated in an infant or child seat. Thus,
only use a child restraint in the rear seat
of your vehicle.
