Seat belt restraint system

SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
vehicle is moving.

• Seat belts are most effective

when seatbacks are in the
upright position.

• Children age 12 and under must

always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil-
dren to ride in the front passen-
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat, he/she
must be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far back
as possible.

• Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job
well. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt
webbing is straight and not twist-
ed.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged, replace it.
