rollovers, the safety belt pretensioners may
be activated alone or, if the crash is of
sufficient severity, together with the front
airbags.

FASTENING THE SAFETY
BELTS

The front outboard and rear safety
restraints in the vehicle are combination
lap and shoulder belts.

WARNING

Always ride and drive with your seat
back upright and the safety belt
properly fastened. The lap portion of

the safety belt should fit snug and be
positioned low across the hips. The
shoulder portion of the safety belt should
be positioned across the chest. Pregnant
women should also follow this practice.
See the following figure.

safety belt. The lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt should
be positioned low across the hips below
the belly and worn as tight as comfort will
allow. The shoulder belt should be
positioned to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.
