NOTE
When the lap/shoulder belt is un-
buckled
and allowed to retract com
-
pletely, the retractor will switch to
the emergency locking mode.
WARNING
No Passengers in Cargo Area:
Do not allow any people to ride in
the cargo area of your vehicle.
People who are not riding in seats
with their seat belts fastened are
much
more likely to be
injured in a
collision.
WARNING
Twisted Seat Belts:
Twisted
seat belts can cause injury
.
In a collision, the full width of the
belt isn’t available to absorb the
impact.
This puts more
force on the
bones
beneath the
belt, which could
break them or cause other serious
injury. If you cannot untwist or
unjam
the seat belt, see your
nearest
qualified technician immediately.
Never
drive or ride with twisted seat
belts.
NOTE
Refer
to page 2-15 for more informa
-
tion on how to untwist a seat belt.
WARNING
One Belt, One Passenger:
Using one seat belt for more than
one person at a time is dangerous.
A seat belt used in this way can’t
spread the impact force properly
and the two passengers could be
crushed together and seriously
injured.
Never use one belt for more
than one person at a time.
