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

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

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, chest
and shoulders, as applicable; wear-
ing   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.
