To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident, and to achieve
maximumeffectivenessoftherestraint
system, all passengers should be sit-
ting up and the front seats should be in
an upright position when the car is
moving. A seat belt cannot provide
proper protection if the person is lying
down in the rear seat or if the front seat
is in a reclined position.
It is recommended that all seat belts
be inspected periodically for wear or
damage of any kind. Parts of the sys-
tem that are damaged should be re-
placed as soon as possible.
This could cause serious internal
injuries.

Keep Belts Clean and Dry

CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
!
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addition,
care should be taken to assure that
seat belts and belt hardware are not
damaged by seat hinges, doors or
other abuse.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or ly-
ing down when your vehicle is in
motion can be dangerous. Even if
you buckle up, your seat belts can't
do their job when you're reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job
because it won't be against your
body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious
neck or other injuries.
