WARNING

- Never allow persons to ride in the cargo area of a vehicle. In the event of an accident, there is a much greater risk of injury for persons who are not riding in a seat with their seat belt securely fastened.

- Seat belts should always be adjusted as follows:

- the lap portion of the belt should be worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist.

– the shoulder straps should be worn on the outside shoulder only, and never under the arm.

– the shoulder straps should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.

(Continued)

Across the pelvis

65D201

WARNING

(Continued)

- Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is comfortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less protection than one which is snug.

• Make sure that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle catch. It is possible to cross the buckles in the rear seat.

(Continued)

BEFORE DRIVING

as low as possible across the hips

65D199

WARNING

(Continued)

• Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommendations about driving should be made by the woman's medical advisor. Remember that the lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, as shown in the diagram.
• Do not wear your seat belt over hard or breakable objects in your pockets or on your clothing. If an accident occurs, objects such as glasses, pens, etc. under the seat belt can cause Injury.

(Continued)

WARNING

(Continued)

- Never use the same seat belt on more than one occupant and never attach a seat belt over an infant or child being held on an occupant's lap. Such seat belt use could cause serious injury in the event of an accident.

• Periodically inspect seat belt assemblies for excessive wear and damage. Seat belts should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated, or damaged in any way. It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
  • Children age 12 and under should ride properly restrained in the rear seat.
• Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for Infants and small children can be purchased locally and should be used. Make sure that the system you purchase meets applicable safety standards. Read and follow all the directions provided by the manufacturer.

WARNING

(Continued)

• Avoid contamination of seat belt webbing by polishes, oils, chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.
• For children, if the shoulder belt irritates the neck or face, move the child closer to the centre of the vehicle.
• All seatbacks should always be in an upright position when driving, or seat belt effectiveness may be reduced. Seat belts are designed to offer maximum protection when seatbacks are in the upright position.

Lap-Shoulder Belt

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

The seat belt has an emergency locking retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock the seat belt only during a sudden stop or impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt across your body very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back to unlock it, then pull the belt across your body more slowly.

CAUTION

• When you move a seatback, make sure both the latch plate and the belt webbing are hooked in the seat belt hangers so the seat belts are not caught by the seatback, seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps prevent damage to the belt system.
• When you hook the belt webbing and latch plate Into the seat belt hanger, make sure the latch plate Is on the obverse side of the belt webbing as shown in the Illustration.
  • Make sure the belt webbing is not twisted.

Seat Belt Inspection

EXAMPLE

65D2095

Periodically inspect the seat belts to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide loops. Replace any seat belts which do not work properly or are damaged.

WARNING

Be sure to Inspect all seat belt assemblies after any collision. Any seat belt assembly which was in use during a collision (other than a very minor one) should be replaced, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Any seat belt assembly which was not in use during a collision should be replaced If it does not function properly, it is damaged in any way or the seat belt pretensioner was activated (that is, if the front air bags were activated).
