Isuzu Tilt Slide FYJ2000 Instruction Manual page 123

WARNING
• 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.
• 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
Isuzu Dealer.
DOORS, WINDOWS AND SEATS
Seat Belts
The protection provided by seat belts
might be significantly reduced if they are
not fastened properly; in certain cases,
improperly fastened seat belts can even
play a role in causing injury to the wearer.
Seat belts must be worn not only by the
driver but also by the passenger(s) before
the vehicle starts moving. You should be
fully acquainted with the proper use of seat
belts and important points to be respected
as described below. Familiarizing yourself
with the correct use of seat belts is
essential for your safety.
