Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly reduced by reclining
your seat. Seat belts must be
snug against your hips and
chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined,
the greater the chance that an
occupant's hips will slide under
the lap belt causing serious
internal injuries or the occu-
pant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and pas-
sengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks
upright.
WARNING
• When you return the rear seat-
back to its upright position
after the rear seatback was
folded down, be careful not to
damage the seat belt webbing
or buckle.
Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not
get caught or pinched in the
rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle
will not be as strong and
could possibly fail during a
collision or sudden stop,
resulting in serious injury. If
the webbing or buckles are
damaged, get them replaced
immediately.
• Seatbelts can become hot in a
vehicle that has been closed
up in sunny weather.
They could burn infants and
children.
