Seat belts
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission is in P (Park) and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.
Seat belts
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis, chest and shoulders.
Seat belt restraint system
For maximum restraint system pro
-
tection, the seat belts must always
be used whenever the vehicle is
moving.
䳜 A properly positioned shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder, across your
collarbone.
䳜 Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat. See "Child
Restraint System (CRS)" on page
3-30 for further discussion.
Twisted seat belt
Make sure your seat belt is not
twisted when worn. A twisted seat
belt may not properly protect you in
an accident and could even cut into
your body.
Shoulder Belt
䳜 Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt cannot protect the
occupant in the event of a crash.
