Seat Belts
{
Warning
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
(Continued)
Warning (Continue d)
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to
the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid.
Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant. It is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the
occupant's lap.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack,

Warning (Continue d)
or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove
slack.
The belts lock during heavy
acceleration or deceleration for
the safety of the occupants.
Note
Make sure that the belts are neither
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from
getting into the belt retractors.
Belt Force Limiters
On front seat three point belts,
stress on the body is reduced by the
gradual release of the belt during a
collision.
Belt Tensioners
In the event of a front, side or rear
collision of a certain severity, the
driver's and/or front passenger's
three point seat belts are tightened.
