Knowing your vehicle
(Continued)
WARNING - Belt use
(Continued)
•
Wear the lap portion as low as
possible. Be sure that the lap
belt fits snugly around the
hips. Never wear a lap portion
of a lap/shoulder belt over
your waist; it should always
go over the stronger area of
your hips.
Pull the safety belt out and let
it retract a number of times.
Make sure that the lap/shoul-
der belts return smoothly and
easily into the retractor.
Safety belts must be used cor-
rectly to work properly in an
accident. Each seating position
in your vehicle has a specific

belt
assembly
that
includes a buckle and tongue
designed to be used together.
•
•
Check the latches to make
sure they latch and release
without interference or delay.
Never close the doors on any
part of the lap or shoulder
belt.
Failure to heed these warnings
and follow these instructions
will increase the risk and sever-
ity of injuries and the likelihood
of death in an accident.
Use the shoulder portion of
the safety belt on the outside
shoulder only. Never wear the
shoulder portion under the
arm.
• Never swing the safety belt
around your neck to fit over
the inside shoulder.
Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the safety belt across
the neck or face.
•
•
Never use a single safety belt
for more than one person.
The front seatbacks should
always remain in a comfort-
able, upright position when
the vehicle is moving.
•
• Any belt not in good condition
or in good working order
should be promptly replaced.
WARNING - Safety belt
care
• A damaged belt may not give
you the protection you need in
an accident.
• Inspect your safety belts peri-
odically for excessive wear or
damage. Pull out each belt
fully and look for fraying, cuts,
burns or other damage.
CAUTION
Never close the doors on any
part of the lap or shoulder belt.
It can damage the safety belt or
buckle which could increase the
risk of injury in case of an acci-
dent.
