Seat Belt
Persons with Disabilities
Persons with disabilities should use seat
belts when riding in a vehicle. Consult with a
doctor for professional advice.
CAUTION
● All occupants in the vehicle must wear
seat belts when the vehicle is moving.
For child occupants, the appropriate
child restraint device should be correctly
selected and used, and must be installed
on the rear side seats.
● Always fasten the upper part of the seat
belt snugly across the shoulder and
chest, and do not let it pass behind the
back or under the arm. When the seat
belt crosses the shoulder, avoid the face
and neck, but do not let it slip off the
shoulder. Incorrect use of seat belts can
cause serious injuries.
● If the seat belt passes under the arm,
occupants may suffer serious injuries. In
a crash, occupants may move forward
too much, increasing the risk of head and
neck injuries, and the seat belt force is
mostly exerted on one side of the ribs,
causing injuries.
● Do not use seat belt tongue substitutes
to insert into the buckle to eliminate
unbuckled seat belt warnings.
● Do not twist the seat belt when wearing
it. A twisted seat belt increases pressure
on the body, reducing its protective effect.
● Do not use one seat belt for multiple
people; each seat belt is for one person
only. If a seat belt is fastened around a
child sitting on a passenger's lap in a
crash, it can cause serious injuries.
● Because children are smaller in size,
the vehicle's seat belts are not suitable
for them.After fastening, the upper part
of the seat belt may be too close to the
head and neck, failing to effectively
protect the child in an accident, and even
causing greater injuries. Be sure to use a
suitable booster cushion or child restraint
device for the child's body and seat.
● Do not make any alterations to the seat
belt, as it can hinder the retractor from
effectively retracting the slack belt.
● If the fabric of the seat belt is worn or
damaged, replace it with a new one.
● After the vehicle is involved in a collision,
go to a dealership to check all seat
belt assemblies, including retractors
and locking buckles. Replace them if
necessary.
