26 Seats and Restraints
Warning
To help reduce the risk of personal injury
in collisions or sudden maneuvers, use
the seat belts following these instructions
on their proper use, maintenance, and
use with child restraint systems.
Seat belts must always be fastened
BEFORE starting to drive.
Seat belts provide full protection only
when the driver and passenger(s) fasten
them while sitting upright and fully back
on the seat.
Wearing a seat belt with the seatback
excessively reclined could be very
dangerous in a collision or sudden stop
since the occupant may slide under the
belt and be seriously injured. Seat belts
work best only when the occupant is
sitting well back and straight up in
the seat.
Be sure to insert the latch plate into the
buckle until a click is heard. An
incompletely inserted latch plate is
dangerous in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
Warning (Continued)
Do not run the seat belt over your face,
chin or neck.
Wear the seat belt as low as possible
around the hips, not around the waist.
A seat belt running over the waist would
press the abdomen with a strong force
and could increase the likelihood of
injuries in a collision or sudden stop.
Do not use a seat belt for a small child if
the belt is on or very close to the child's
neck or chin. Also, do not use a seat belt
if it does not fit snugly over the child's
hips because restraining the child under
those conditions could be dangerous in
the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Instead, use an appropriate child restraint
system available on the market. For
further details, please contact your
dealer.
Use a child restraint system that fits the
size of the infant or child. Install the
system according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

Warning (Continued)
Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems should use the vehicle's
seat belts.
Remove any twists in the seat belt before
fastening it. A seat belt with twists will
not provide full protection because it
cannot disperse shocks efficiently in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Too much slack could increase the
amount of injury because the belt would
not be able to properly restrain you in an
accident.
Do not put the lap portion of a seat belt
over any armrest.
Do not wear a shoulder belt under your
arm nearest the door.
Do not let a buckle release button face
downward or inward.
Expectant mothers or people suffering
from chest or abdominal conditions
should check with their doctor for specific
recommendations about wearing seat

belts.
