SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Safety restraints precautions

Always drive and ride with

your seatback upright and

the lap belt snug and low across

the hips.

To prevent the risk of injury,

make sure children sit

where they can be properly

restrained.

Always transport children

12 years old and under in

the back seat and always use

appropriate child restraints.

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.

Reclining the seat back can

reduce the effectiveness of

the seat's safety belt in the event

of a collision.
