Safety features of your vehicle Seat belts

Seat belt restraint system
WARNING
䳜 For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.
䳜 Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the upright
position.
䳜 Children age 13 and younger must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow children
to ride in the front passenger
seat. If a child over 13 must be
seated in the front seat, he/she
must be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far back
as possible.
䳜 Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across your
collarbone.
䳜 Never wear a seat belt over frag
-
ile objects. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the seat belt can
damage it.
䳜 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.
䳜 Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is damaged,
replace it.
WARNING
Australian design rules
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the
lap section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con
-
tamination of the webbing with pol
-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
