Safety features of your vehicle

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.

Injured person

A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should con-
sult a physician for recommendations.

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.

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 pas-
sengers should be sitting up and the front
and rear seats should be in an upright posi-
tion when the car is moving. A seat belt can-
not provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front and
rear seats are in a reclined position.
WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden stop. The protec-
tion of your restraint system (seat
belts and air bag) is greatly reduced
by reclining your seat. Seat belts
must be snugged against your hips
and chest to work properly.
more the seatback is reclined, the
greater the chance that an occu-
pant's hips will slide under the lap
belt causing serious
injuries or the occupant's neck
could strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat-
backs upright.

Care of seat belts

Seat belt systems should never be dis-
assembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
WARNING
A seat belt with damaged webbing
or buckle could possibly fail during
a collision or sudden stop, result-
ing in serious injury. If the webbing
or buckles are damaged, get them
replaced immediately.
