Never wear the shoulder belt under your
arm, against your neck or off your shoul-
der. 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 or abdomen, which could se-
verely injure internal organs such as
your liver or spleen.

person at a time. Do not fasten a seat
belt around a person and another per-

other way than as described in this sec-
tion, as that could result in serious inju-
ries in case of an accident.

belt at all times, because seat belts help
reduce the likelihood of and potential
severity of injuries in accidents, includ-
ing rollovers. The integrated restraint
system includes SRS (driver airbag, pas-
senger airbag, side impact airbags, ETD
(seat belt emergencytensioning device),
and driver knee bolster. The system is
designed to enhance the protection of-
fered to properly belted occupants in
certain frontal (front airbags) and side
(side impact airbags) impacts which ex-

Never wear belts over rigid or breakable
objects in or on your clothing, such as
eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as these

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 pres-
sure on the abdomen.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips and not across the abdo-
men. If the belt is positioned across your
abdomen, it could cause serious injuries
in a crash.
Never place your feet on the instrument
panel or on the seat. Always keep both
feet on the floor in front of the seat.
