from seat belt holder

̈ Place the shoulder portion of the seat
belt across the top of your shoulder
and the lap portion across your hips.
̈ Push latch plate 2 into buckle 3 until
it clicks.
̈ If necessary, tighten the lap portion to
a snug fit by pulling shoulder portion

Proper use of seat belts
ț Do not twist the seat belt when
fastening.
ț Adjust seat belt so that the shoulder
portion is located as close as possible
to the middle of the shoulder (it should
not touch the neck). Never pass the
shoulder portion of the seat belt under
your arm.
ț Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips (over hip joint) and not
across the abdomen.
Warning!
G
Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are seat belts available. Be sure
everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly
restrained with a separate seat belt. Never
use a seat belt for more than one person at
a time.
Warning!
G
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined position
as this can be dangerous. You could slide
under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide
under it, the seat belt would apply force at
the abdomen or neck. That could cause se-
rious or even fatal injuries. The seat back-
rest and seat belt provide the best restraint
when the wearer is in a nearly upright posi-
tion and the seat belt is properly positioned
on the body.
Warning!
G
Read and observe the additional warning no-
tices printed in the “Safety and Security”
( ୴ page 64) and ( ୴ page 72).
