WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because it
won't be against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash
the belt could go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be applied there, not at your
pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly.

Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any kind.
Parts of the system that are damaged should be
replaced as soon as possible.
B160A01S-GAT
CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belt systems should never be disassembled
or modified. In addition, care should be taken to
assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not
damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is neces-
sary, you should consult a physician for recom-
mendations.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of an
accident, and to achieve maximum effective-
ness of the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should be
in an upright position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot operate properly if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat is in
a reclined position.
B150D01A-AAT
Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of injury in
an accident. When a seat belt is used, the lap belt
portion should be placed as low and snugly as
possible on the hips, not across the abdomen.
For specific recommendations, consult a physi-
cian.
The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in
an accident will be decreased if this elementary
safety precaution is observed. In addition, the
following recommendations are made:
B150B01A-GAT
Infant or Small Child
Some countries require the use of child restraint
systems for infants and small children. Whether
this is required by law or not, it is strongly
recommended that a child restraint seat or infant
restraint system be used for infants or small
children weighing less than 18 kilograms (40
pounds).
B150C01A-AAT
Larger Children
Children who are too large for child restraint
systems should occupy the
rear seat
and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion
should be fastened snug on the hips and as low
as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's
squirming could move the belt out of position.
If the larger child (over age 13) is in the front seat,
the child should be securely restrained by the
seat belt. Under no circumstances should the
child be allowed to stand or kneel on the seat.
Children are afforded the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are restrained by a
proper restraint system in the
rear seat
. Never
allow children to ride in the front passenger seat.
