WARNING
Always operate the vehicle with seat belts properly fastened.
Make sure the seat belts are latched securely and are free from twists or kinks.
Position the shoulder belt across the top of the shoulder. Do not place the shoulder belt

Inspect the safety belt webbing and hardware periodically. Check for cuts, frays or loose
