SEAT-BELT WARNING CHIME
The seat-belt warning chime will sound for
about 4 to 8 seconds when the ignition
switch is in the "II" position unless the
driver's seat-belt is securely fastened.
CARE OF BELTS
Always keep the seat-belts clean and dry.
Clean only with a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since this may
severely weaken them. Make sure that
the belt is not damaged or trapped by
sharp edged objects.
Periodically inspect all parts of the belts
and have damaged parts replaced. A belt
which has been overstretched in an acci-
dent must be replaced by a new one.
Do not perform any alterations
to your
vehicle's seat-belt system.
CAUTION
To help reduce the risk of personal
injury in collisions or sudden manoeu-
vres, use the safety belts in accordance
with these instructions on their proper
use and maintenance.
Children
small enough for child re-
straints (as indicated on the label of
such restraints) should always travel in
one. Accident statistics indicate children
are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat rather than in the front
seat. Accordingly, we recommend chil-
dren be restrained in the rear seat.
