positioned snug over the shoulder.

For pregnant women: Never place the
shoulder belt behind your back or under your
arm. Adjust the lap belt across your hips/

shoulder belt across your chest (between your
breasts) and away from your neck.

DRIVING SAFETY

Do not attempt to adjust the driver's seat while
the vehicle is moving.

extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy

a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.

operation in a safe area to be sure they have
not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if
a difference in braking efficiency is
noticeable.
