Seat belt precautions
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions about
seat belts, air bags and occupant seat
contained in this manual.
Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child and/
or infant seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use of
these restraints, refer to "Child restraint
system (CRS)" on page 3-28.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding in a vehi -
cle. The violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the interior.
Always use a child restraint appropriate
for your child's height and weight.
