Seatbelt safety tips

All persons in the vehicle should
fasten their seatbelts BEFORE the
vehicle starts to move. Otherwise,
the possibility of serious injury
becomes greater in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.
All belts should fit snugly in order
to provide full restraint. Loose fit-
ting belts are not as effective in
preventing or reducing injury.
Each seatbelt is designed to sup-
port only one person. Never use a
single belt for two or more per-
sons – even children. Otherwise,
in an accident, serious injury or
death could result.
Replace all seatbelt assemblies
including retractors and attaching
hardware worn by occupants of a
vehicle that has been in a serious
accident. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if dam-
age is not obvious.
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
Put children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropriate
for the child's age, height and
weight. The SRS airbag (if so
equipped) deploys with consider-
able speed and force and can in-
jure or even kill children, especial-
ly if they are not restrained or im-
properly restrained. Because chil-
dren are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured
from deployment is greater.
Secure ALL types of child re-
straint devices (including forward
facing child seats) in the REAR
seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD'S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
