Safety Restraints - Ford 2001 Mercury Cougar Owner's Manual

SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Important safety restraints
precautions
Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap belt snug and low across
the hips.
To reduce the risk of injury,
make sure children sit
where they can be properly
restrained.
All occupants of the vehicle,
including the driver, should
always properly wear their safety
belt, even when the air bag SRS is
provided.
It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area, inside
or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. Do not
allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and safety belts. Be
sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a safety belt
properly.
Reclining the seatback can
reduce the effectiveness of
the seat's safety belt in the event
of a collision.
