WARNING
僅 You should place the lap belt portion
as low as possible and snugly across
your hips, not on your waist. If the lap
belt is located too high on your waist,
it may increase the chance of injury in
the event of a collision. Both arms
should not be under or over the belt.
Rather, one should be over and the
other under, as shown in the illustra -
tion. Never wear the seat belt under
the arm near the door.
僅 Prior to fastening the rear seat belts,
ensure the latch matches the seat belt
buckle. Forcefully fastening the left or
right seat belt to the centre buckle can
result in an improper fastening sce -
nario that will not protect you in an
accident.
