under the arm. Seat belts should
never be worn with the straps
twisted and should be adjusted as
tightly as is comfortable to provide
the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will
provide less protection than one
which is snug.
• Make sure that each seat belt
buckle is inserted into the proper
buckle catch. It is possible to cross

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.
• 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.

• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about restraint use 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.
• 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 aged 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.
