Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
Do not attempt to fit a LATCH child restraint to
the center rear seating position. The anchor
bars are not designed to hold a LATCH child
restraint in this position. Install only using
seat belts (non-LATCH system) and the top
tether at this position.
SEAT BELT SAFETY
Seat belts should be worn by all vehicle
occupants, for every journey, no matter how
short. Failure to do so will greatly increase
the risk of serious injury or death in the event
of an accident.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly is not
obvious. Damage to the seat belt can greatly
reduce its effectiveness in reducing the risk
of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
Damage to the seat belt can greatly reduce its
effectiveness in reducing the risk of serious
injury or death in the event of an accident.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. Damage to the seat belt
can reduce its effectiveness in reducing the
risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident.
Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp items
between your person and the seat belt. In an
impact, the pressure on such items can cause
them to break, which in turn may cause
serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
When using seat belts to restrain items other
than occupants, take care to ensure that the
belts are not damaged, or exposed to sharp
edges. Damage to the seat belt can reduce its
effectiveness in reducing the risk of serious
injury or death in the event of an accident.
Do not use comfort clips or devices that
create slack in the seat belt system.
