82

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.

Each seating position in

your vehicle has a specific

safety belt assembly which is

made upof one buckle and one

tongue that are designed to be

used as a pair. 1) Use the

shoulder belt on the outside

shoulder only. Never wear the

shoulder belt under the arm.

2) Never swing it around your

neck over the inside shoulder.

3) Never use a single belt for

more than one person.

proper buckle (the buckle closest

to the direction the tongue is

coming from) until you hear a snap

and feel it latch. Make sure the

tongue is securely fastened in the

buckle.
