• Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than a snug belt.
• Check that seat belt latch plate
(tongue) is inserted into the proper
buckle especially in the rear seats.
It is not possible to insert into the
wrong buckles in the rear seats.

of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the illustration.
• Do not fasten your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an

BEFORE DRIVING
WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not hold a child on a passen-
ger's lap. Even if the passenger
holds the child tightly, he/she
would not be supported enough in
the event of an accident and it
could result in a serious injury of
the child.
• Never use the same seat belt for
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant's
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
