B150C01A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always oc-
cupy the rear seat and use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. The lap por-
tion should be fastened snug on the
hips and as low as possible. Check
belt fit periodically. A child's squirming
could move the belt out of position. If
the larger child (over age 13) is in the
front seat, the child should be securely
restrained by the seat belt. Under no
circumstances should the child be al-
lowed to stand or kneel on the seat.
Children are afforded the most safety
in the event of an accident when they
are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. NEVER place
a child under the age of 13 in the front
seat. Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat.
B150D01A-AAT
Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women to lessen the
chance of injury in an accident. When
a seat belt is used, the lap belt portion
should be placed as low and snugly as
possible on the hips, not across the
abdomen. For specific recommenda-
tions, consult a physician.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effectiveness of the restraint
system, all passengers should be sit-
ting up and the front seats should be in
an upright position when the car is
moving. A seat belt cannot operate
properly if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the front seat is in a
reclined position.
