SAFETY RESTRAINTS

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.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or
her lap while the vehicle is moving. The

passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a
collision.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the
driver, should always properly wear their

safety belts, even when an 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.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person

wearing a safety belt.
