WARNING

• Never allow persons to ride in the

cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.

• Seat belts should always be

adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should

be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.

– the shoulder straps should be

worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.

– the shoulder straps should be

away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.

Above the pelvis

WARNING

(Continued)
• Seat belts should never be worn

with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than one which is snug.

WARNING

(Continued)
• Pregnant women should use seat

belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the diagram.

• Make sure that each seat belt

buckle is inserted into the proper
buckle catch. It is possible to cross
the buckles in the rear seat.
