Seat belts help to restrain you and your passengers in case
of
a collision.
In
most states, the law
require~.
their use.
/
Seat belts provide the best res.traint when:
the seat back is upright
the occupant is sitting upright (not
slou'ching)
.
the lap belt
is
snug and low on the hips
the shoulder belt
is
snug against the chest
the
knees are straight forward
For your safety, your vehicle has combination lap and shoulder belts for the
driver
andfrbnt
seat
passenger and lap belts without retractors in all other
designated seating positions.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and
low across the
hiI's to reduce the risk
of
serious injury to the abdomen or neck
that could be caused by sliding under the safety belts in a collision.
Never
let a passenger hold a child
on
his
or
her lap while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot protect
the
child from injury in a collision .
. Children should always ride with the seatback in the fully upright position.
Wlien the seatback is not fully upright; there is a greater risk that the child will
slide under
the
safety belt
and
be
seriously injured in a collision.
Never use.a single belt for more than one person
or
across more than one
seating position. This greatly increases the risk that
oneor
both
of
the people
will be injured in a collision.
Each
designated seating position in your vehicle
has a specific safetybelt assembly which is made up
of
one buckle and one
tongue that are designed to .be used as a pair. While your vehicle is in motion,
the combination
lap
and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement. However,
if
you brake hard, comer hard or
if
your vehicle receives an impact, the lap alld
shoulder belt locks and prevents you from moving.
