Safety features of your vehicle
Seat belt restraint system
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and the lap belt portion
should be worn low across the
front of the pelvis; wearing the
lap section of the belt across
the abdominal area must be
avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted
as firmly as possible, consis-
tent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have
been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
occupant.

• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly posi-
tioned shoulder belt can
cause serious injuries in a
crash.
The shoulder belt
should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
• 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 twisted.
• Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If
the belt webbing or hardware
is damaged, replace it.
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
• For maximum restraint sys-
tem protection, the seat belts
must always be used whenev-
er the car is moving.
• Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
• Children age 12 and under
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he/she must
be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
