Seat Belt Care and Cleaning
•
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing and
hardware. Take care not to pinch them in the
seat or doors.
•
Inspect the belts and hardware periodically.
Check for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not
remove or modify the belt system.
•
Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need
cleaning, use only a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use hot water. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, bleach, or dyes. These
products may weaken the belts.
•
Replace any belt assembly that was used
during a severe impact. Replace the complete
assembly even if damage is not apparent.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
-If Equipped
A properly installed and secured child
restraint system can help reduce the chance or
severity of personal injury to a child in an
accident or during a sudden maneuver. Children
may have a greater chance of being injured in an
accident if they are seated in a child restraint
system which is not properly secured.
A child restraint system is designed to be
secured in a vehicle seat by a lap belt or the lap
belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
When purchasing a child restraint system,
follow these guidelines:
1. Look for the label certifying that it meets all
applicable safety standards.
2. Make sure that it will attach to your vehicle
and restrain your child securely and
conveniently so that you are able to install it
correctly each time it is used.
WARNING
Snug and low belt positions are essential.
This will ensure that the force exerted by
the lap belt in a collision is spread over the
strong hip area and not across the
abdomen, which could result in serious
injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to
be occupied while vehicle is in motion.
Swivel seats must be in the locked,
forward facing position while vehicle is in
motion.
