7.6 SEAT BELTS
7.6.1 LAP BELTS
Seats intended for passenger use when travelling
are equipped with seat belts.
Make sure lap belts are adjusted to a snug fi t and
as low on the hips as possible for maximum safety
and protection.
7.6.2 SHOULDER/LAP BELTS
The driver and co-pilot seats of your vehicle are
equipped with shoulder belts that have automatic
locking retractors that allow you to adjust the belt
for maximum comfort as well as safety.
Seat belts provide maximum safety only when
adjusted and worn correctly when the seat is in
the forward facing position. The lap part of the
belt should be worn as low as possible with the
shoulder strap diagonally across the chest, over
the shoulder but not against the neck.
NOTE
If you pull the strap away from the wall too
quickly, the automatic retractor may “lock”.
To free it, relax the tension and then pull it
away from the wall slowly.
CAUTION
Make sure all passengers are instruct-
ed on the release mechanisms of the
seat belts so that they are able to get
out quickly in case of emergency.
SHOULDER & LAP BELTS
LAP BELT (TYPICAL)
Snug and low belt position are important. In case
of collision, the force will be spread over the strong
hip area rather than the weaker abdomen area. This
could prevent serious injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts should be oc-
cupied when travelling.
WARNING
Never wear seat belts in any way other than
as described. Serious injury may result from
improper use of seat belts.
