WARNING
• Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap sec­
tion of the belt across the abdomi­
nal area must be avoided.
• Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
• Care should be taken to avoid con­
tamination of the webbing with pol­
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par­
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if the webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
• It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn In a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
• Belts should not be worn with straps
twisted.
• Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it Is danger­
ous to put a belt around a child
being carried on the occupant's lap.
• No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt ad­
justing devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
• Do not allow anyone to use the
shoulder belt if it crosses above the
chest or near the neck or face.
• Never wear the shoulder belt under
your outer arm or behind your back.
• Do not recline the seatback more
than needed.
• Do not fasten the seat belt over
hard or fragile objects, such as eye
glasses, jewelry, pens, and keys.
• Do not wear the seat belt on heavy
clothing. It could prevent proper
positioning of the belt.
