Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Keep any shoulder belt slack to a minimum.  Too much belt slack  could 
reduce  the amount  of protection  in an  accident  because the belt is too loose to restrain you properly_ 
Seat Belt  Inspection 
Now  and Ihen check  that belts.  buckles,  latch plates,  retractors,  reminder 
systems  and guide 
loops work  properly; look for loose  parts or damage  that 
could  keep the restraint  system from doing  its job.  Replace  a 
belt if the 
webbing  has been  cut or otherwise  damaged.  Replace belts in use  during all 
but a minor collision; if there  is any question, replace the belt. 
SEAT  BELT LIGHT/BUZZER REMINDER 
When the key  is turned  to "Run" or "Start," a light will come on for four  to 
eight  seconds  to remind people to fasten  their· seat belts.  Unless the driver's 
seat 
belt is buckled,  a buzzer will sound  at the  same  time. 
If the seat belt or reminder  system does not work  as described,  see your  dealer 
for service. 
CHILD  RESTRAINT 
All vehicle  occupants  and especially children should be restrained 
whenever  riding 
in vehicles. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a substitute for  a child restraint  system. In an accident,  a child held in  a person's  arms  can 
be struck  or crushed by any  unrestrained- rider. An unrestrained child could 
also be  injured  by striking  the interior,  or by  being  ejected  from the vehicle 
during  a sudden  maneuver  or impact.  A child restraint  system can help 
protect a child in a vehicle. 
In convertibles,  a top-strap-equipped child restraint  can only be used in 
the Iront seat because  there is no appropriate  place to aUach a top strap 
anchor bracket  behind the rear seat in this vehicle. Installing a top  strap 
anchor  bracket  behind the rear  seat  may  expose  the child to hazards  if the  top 
is  raised  or lowered  with the child  restraint  occupied, 
and, the bracket  itself 
may  damage  the convertible  top. 
In using any child  restraint  system, be sure to read  and follow  all instructions on installation  and use that  come  with the system. 
Riding Without A Child  Restraint 
For the  best  protection  in an  accident or sudden  maneuver,  children 
small enough lor child restraint systems should be restrained that way. 
However,  the 
following may provide some degree  of protection  for such children if a child  restraint  is not  used. 
• Place an infant  who cannot  sit up  in a baby  carrier,  preferably  covered and 
padded. Put it crossways on the vehicle seat  and securely  restrain it with the vehicle's seat  belts. Or, if that is not  possible,  place it crossways  on the floor behind  the driver's  seat. 
• Children  who can sit up by themselves should be  restrained  with a lap belt 
when  riding in a rear  seat. In the front  seat a child  should  wear both lap 
and shoulder belt. If the shoulder belt irritates  the neck  or face  move  the 
child 
closer to  the center  of the  vehicle  or to the  rear  seat.  Never let a child stand  or kneel on any seat. If unusual  conditions  prevent the use  of 
restraints,  the 
child should stand  on the  floor  behind  the driver's seat.
