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

serious or even fatal injuries. The seat back-

rest and seat belt provide the best restraint

when the wearer is in a position that is as

upright as possible 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”

section (

page 68) and (

page 76).
