Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
Wearing a safety belt improperly
could cause serious injury.
The lap part of the belt should
be worn low and snug on the
hips, just touching the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force to
the strong pelvic bones, and
you would be less likely to slide
under the lap belt. If you slid
under it, the belt would apply
force to your abdomen. This
could cause serious or even fatal
injuries.
CAUTION (Continued)
Wear your belt fitted closely
against the body. Do not wear
your shoulder belt under your
arm. Make sure the belt is not
twisted across your body.
You could be seriously injured if
your belt is buckled in the
wrong place. Always buckle
your belt into the buckle nearest
you.
CAUTION
The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across
the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt
restraining forces.
CAUTION (Continued)
A safety belt must be used by
only one person at a time. Do
not allow two children to share
the same belt.
Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear seat.
