belt restraint system
For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, the seat belts must always be used
whenever the vehicle is moving.
僅 A properly positioned shoulder belt
should be positioned midway over
your shoulder, across your collarbone.
僅 Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. See "Child
Restraint System (CRS)" on page 4-31
for further discussion.
WARNING
Twisted seat belt
Make sure your seat belt is not twisted
when worn. A twisted seat belt may not
properly protect you in an accident and
could even cut into your body.
WARNING
Shoulder belt
僅 Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder belt
cannot protect the occupant in the
event of a crash.
僅 Always wear both the shoulder por-
tion and lap portion of the lap/shoul-
der belt.
