Seating and Safety Restraints

137

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 up of 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.

1. Insert the belt tongue into the

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.
