severity of injuries in case of an acci-

Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle
is in motion.
WARNING - Pregnant
women
If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the
safety belt over the area of the
abdomen where the unborn
child is located or above the
abdomen where the belt could
seriously injure or even cause
the death of the unborn child
during an impact.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve maximum effectiveness of
the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front and
rear seats should be in an upright
position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot provide proper pro-
tection if the person is lying down in
the rear seat or if the seats are in a
reclined position.
