• Avoid contamination of seat
belt webbing by polishes, oils,
chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
• For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the centre of the
vehicle.
• All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving, or
seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright
position.

• Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
• Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated, or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after
it has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
• Children age 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
• Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small
children can be purchased locally
and should be used. Make sure that
the system you purchase meets
applicable safety standards. Read
and follow all the directions
provided by the manufacturer.

• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical
advisor. Remember that the lap
portion of the belt should be worn
as low as possible across the hips,
as shown in the diagram.
• Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
