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.
