Seat belts
N00406000282
Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WARNING
!
●
In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to
a rear impact, the driver and front passenger
seatbacks must be adjusted to the upright position
before vehicle operation. The driver should never
adjust the seat while the vehicle is in motion.
●
Never place a cushion or similar device on the
seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint
performance by increasing the distance between
your head and the restraint.
WARNING
!
●
To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraints must always be
used. Refer to “Child restraints” on page 2-24 for
additional information.
●
Never use one seat belt for more than one person.
●
Never carry more people in your vehicle than there
are seat belts.
●
Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.
●
Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or
under your arm.
●
Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across
your hips, not around your waist.
●
Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle.
●
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s air bag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
