Occupant Safety
Seat Belts
Seat belts and child restraint systems are
the most effective means of restraining
vehicle occupants from impact forces,
which minimizes the danger of injury from
interior impacts and the effects of
whiplash.
WARNING: A seat belt which is not
worn, worn incorrectly, or has not
been engaged fully in the seat belt
buckle cannot perform its intended
function. To avoid injuries, ensure
that all vehicle occupants wear their
seat belt correctly at all times.
Ensure that the belt:

is routed as low as possible across
your pelvic area (i.e. across your hip
joints and not across your abdomen)

fits closely

is not twisted

is routed across the middle of your
shoulder

lies flat across the mid point of the
collar bone between the neck and
shoulder

fits closely across your pelvis by
pulling the shoulder belt upwards
WARNING: Do not secure any objects
with a seat belt if the seat belt is
being used by a vehicle occupant.
WARNING: Avoid wearing bulky
clothing. Do not route the belt
across sharp edged or fragile
objects especially if these are on or
in your clothing. The seat belt could
be damaged and you could be
injured.
WARNING: Only one person should
use each seat belt at any one time.
WARNING: Children under 4 ft 11 in
(1.5 m) tall or younger than 12 years
of age must be secured in a suitable
child restraint. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when
installing child restraint systems.
Please refer to current national and
local laws for specific requirements.
Never allow children to travel on the
lap of another occupant.
WARNING: Pregnant women should
wear a seat belt to ensure maximum
safety of mother and unborn child.
Position the lap belt across the hips,
below the abdomen and position
the shoulder belt between the
breasts and to the side of the
abdomen. Ensure the belt is not
slack or twisted.
WARNING: The seat belt only
provides its intended degree of
protection if the seat backrest is
positioned close to vertical, and the
occupant is sitting upright.
WARNING: The seat belt cannot
perform its function correctly if the
seat belt or buckle becomes
excessively dirty or damaged.
Ensure the belt latch engages the
buckle fully.
Check the seat belts regularly to ensure
that they are not damaged, or routed over
sharp edges and are not trapped. The belt
could tear in an accident, causing injury to
occupants.
