Seats & Safety Belts
Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still
is on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the child’s
upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
If the child is so small
that the shoulder belt
still is very close to the child’s face or neck, you might
want
to place the child in a seat that has a lap belt, if your vehicle has one.

Never do this.
A Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder be\
lt, but the
shoulder part is behind the child.
If the child wears the belt in this
way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’\
s force
would then be applied right on the child’s abdomen. That co\
uld
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should b\
e worn low and
snug
on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies bel\
t force to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.

Seats & Safety Belts
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean
you will have to have safety belt parts, like the retractor, replaced o\
r
anchorage locations repaired-even
if the belt wasn't being used at the time
of the collision.
Q: What's wrong with this?

I CAUTION
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip
apart under impact forces.
If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one
right away.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the corr\
ect part number.
You'll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. \
The model
year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model number on
the certificationltire label of your vehicle.
