Warning!
•
•
Position the lap belt as low
as possible on your hips and not
across the abdomen. If the belt is
positioned across your abdomen,
it could cause serious injuries in a
crash.
which is properly secured by a lap
belt or lap belt portion of a lap-
shoulder belt. Children could be
endangered in an accident if
their child restraints are not
properly secured in the vehicle.
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY.
•
Each occupant should wear their
seat belt at all times. Together
with the "SRS", the seat belt
offers the best conditions for
protection of the body in case of
major frontal impact.
Each seat belt should never be
used for more than one person at
a time.
• Rear-facing child restraints must
not be used in the front seat with
a passenger side airbag. They
could be struck by the airbag
when it inflates in a crash. If this
happens, a child in the restraint
could be seriously injured.
•
•
Improperly positioned seat belts
do not provide maximum
protection and may cause serious
injuries in case of an accident.
• Belts should not be worn twisted.
In a crash, you wouldn't have the
full width of the belt to take
impact forces. The twisted belt
against your body could cause
injuries.
•
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions.
Never wear the shoulder
belt under your arm, against
your neck or off your shoulder. In
a crash, your body would move
too far forward. That would
increase the chance of head and
neck injuries. The belt would also
apply too much force to the ribs,
which could severely injure
internal organs such as your liver
or spleen.
• Pregnant women should also use a
lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt
portion should be positioned as
low as possible on the hips to
avoid any possible pressure on
the abdomen.
•
Children too big for child restraint
systems should use regular seat
belts. Position shoulder belt
across chest and shoulder, not face
or neck. A booster seat may be
necessary to achieve proper belt
positioning.
USE CHILD RESTRAINTS
PROPERLY.
•
Infants and small children
must be seated in an infant
or child restraint system,
