Warning!
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY.
• Each occupant should wear their
seat belt at all times. Together
with the "SRS" (airbags, ETR's
and knee bolsters for driver and
front seat passenger), the seat
belt offers the best conditions for
protection of the body in case of
major frontal impact.
• Improperly positioned seat belts
do not provide maximum
protection and may cause serious
injuries in case of an accident.
• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm, against your
neck or off your shoulder. In a
crash, your body would move too
far forward. That would increase
the chance of head and neck
injuries. The belt would also apply
top much force to the ribs, which
could severely injure internal
organs such as your liver or
spleen
• Position the lap belt as low as
possible on your hips and not
across the abdomen. If the belt is
positioned across your abdomen,
it could cause serious injuries in a
crash.
• Each seat belt should never be
used for more than one person at
a time.
• Belts should not be worn twisted.
In a crash, you wouldn't have the
full width of the belt to take
impact forces. The twisted belt
against your body could cause
injuries.
• Pregnant women should also use a
lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt
portion should be positioned as
low as possible on the hips to
avoid any possible pressure on the
abdomen.
USE CHILD RESTRAINTS
PROPERLY.
• Infants and small children must be
seated in an infant or child
restraint system, which is properly
secured
by a lap belt or lap belt portion of
a lap-shoulder belt. Children
could be endangered in an
accident if their child restraints
are not properly secured in the
vehicle.
• Rear-facing child restraints must
not be used in the front seat with
a passenger side airbag. They
could be struck by the airbag
when it inflates in a crash. If this
happens, a child in the restraint
could be seriously injured.
• According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions.
• Children too big for child
restraint systems should ride in
rear seats using regular seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across chest
and shoulder, not face or neck. A
booster seat may be necessary to
achieve proper belt positioning
