Avoid wearing twisted  seat belts.
A twisted  belt can't do  its job as
well. In  a collision,  it could  even
cut  into   you.  Be  sure  the   belt
webbing is straight and not twist-
ed.
Care should be taken  to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with pol-
ishes, oils  and chemicals  and par-
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely  be   carried  out  using   mild
soap and water. The belt should  be

frayed, contaminated  or  damaged.
It is  essential to  replace the  entire
assembly after  it has been worn  in
a severe  impact even if  damage to
the assembly  is not obvious.  Belts
should  not   be  worn   with  straps
twisted.  Each  seat  belt   assembly
must  only  be  used  by  one  occu-
pant; it  is dangerous  to  put a  belt
around a child being carried on  the
occupant's lap.
Children age  12 and  under must
always  be properly  restrained in
the  rear seat.    Never  allow chil-
dren to  ride in  the front  passen-
ger seat.   If a  child over 12  must
be seated in the front seat, he/she
must be  properly  belted and  the
seat should be moved as far back
as possible.
WARNING
Seat  belts   are  designed   to  bear
upon   the  bony   structure   of  the
body,  and   should   be   worn   low
across the front of the pelvis, or the
pelvis,   chest   and  shoulders,   as
applicable; wearing the  lap section
of  the  belt  across  the  abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat  belts  should  be  adjusted  as
firmly as  possible, consistent  with
comfort,  to provide  the  protection
for which they have been designed.
Never   wear   the  shoulder    belt
under  your  arm  or  behind  your
back.   An  improperly positioned
shoulder belt  can  cause serious
injuries in a  crash.  The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over  your  shoulder  across your
collarbone.
A slack  belt will greatly reduce  the
protection  afforded   to   the  occu-
pant.
