DOORS, WINDOWS AND SEATS
WARNING
Seat belts must always be fastened BEFORE starting to drive.
Seat belts provide full protection only when the driver and passenger(s) fasten
them while sitting upright and fully back on the seat.
Wearing a seat belt with the seatback excessively reclined could be very
dangerous in a collision or sudden stop since the occupant may slide under the
belt and be seriously injured. Seat belts work best only when the occupant is
sitting well back and straight up in the seat.
Be sure to insert the latch plate into the buckle until a click is heard. An
incompletely inserted latch plate is dangerous in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
Do not run the seat belt over your face, chin or neck.
Wear the seat belt as low as possible around the hips, not around the waist. A
seat belt running over the waist would press the abdomen with a strong force
and could increase the likelihood of injuries in a collision or sudden stop.
Do not use a seat belt for a small child if the belt is on or very close to the child's
neck or chin. Also, do not use a seat belt if it does not fit snugly over the child's
hips because restraining the child under those conditions could be dangerous
in the event of a collision or sudden stop. Instead, use an appropriate child
restraint system available on the market. For further details, please contact your
Isuzu Dealer.
Use a child restraint system that fits the size of the infant or child. Install the
system according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Remove any twists in the seat belt before fastening it. A seat belt with twists will
not provide full protection because it cannot disperse shocks efficiently in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Too much slack could increase the amount of injury because the belt would not
be able to properly restrain you in an accident.
Expectant mothers or people suffering from chest or abdominal conditions
should check with their doctor for specific recommendations about wearing seat
belts.
Do not use one seat belt for more than one person. If worn by more than one
person, the seat belt would not work effectively in a collision or sudden stop.
Have seat belts inspected and, if necessary, replaced by the nearest Isuzu
Dealer when the webbing becomes frayed or worn and/or when the buckle or
other mechanical parts fail to work properly.
