Page 10 CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts cannot do their job when you are reclined like this. The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
Page 11 Safety Belts CAUTION: Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, This part of the manual tells you how to use safety inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, belts properly. It also tells you some things you should people riding in these areas are more likely to not do with safety belts.
Page 12 Why Safety Belts Work In most states and all Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work. When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.
Page 13 Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn’t stop.
Page 14 The person keeps going until stopped by something. or the instrument panel... In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield...
Page 15 Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? You could be — whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down.
Page 16 Driver Position If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? Lap-Shoulder Belt You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear accident —...
Page 17 The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly. 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
Page 18 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should ﬁt against your body. The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way.
Page 19 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at the pelvic bones.
Page 20 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones.
Page 21 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealer to ﬁx it.
Page 22 Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way.

The passenger’s safety belt works the same way as But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will the driver’s safety belt —...
Page 24 Child Restraints What is the proper way to wear safety belts? If possible, an older child should wear a Older Children lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should ﬁt snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
Page 25 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can not properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only one person at a time. What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
Page 26 The lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash. Infants and Young Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children.
Page 27 CAUTION: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inﬂates can be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them.
Page 28 What are the different types of add-on child restraints? CAUTION: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle’s owner, are available in four basic Newborn infants need complete support, types. Selection of a particular restraint should including support for the head and neck. take into consideration not only the child’s weight, This is necessary because a newborn infant’s height and age but also whether or not the...
Page 29 Child Restraint Systems CAUTION: The body structure of a young child is quite unlike that of an adult or older child, for whom the safety belts are designed. A young child’s hip bones are still so small that the vehicle’s regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should.

Page 31 How Should I Use a Child Restraint? A child restraint system is any device designed for use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position children. A built-in child restraint system is a permanent part of the motor vehicle. An add-on child restraint system is a portable one, which is purchased by the vehicle’s owner.
Page 32 Securing an Add-on Child Restraint When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on in the Vehicle the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement CAUTION: copy from the manufacturer.
