Important Safety Belt InformationThe use of safety belts helps to restrain you and

the seatback is upright
q
the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
q
the lap belt is snug and low on the hips
q
the shoulder belt is snug against the chest
q
the knees are straight forward
To help you remember to fasten your safety belt, a
warning light may come on and a chime may
sound. SeeSafety Belt Warning Light and Chimein
theInstrumentationchapter.
See the following sections in this chapter for
directions on how to properly use these safety belts.
Also seeSafety Restraints for Childrenin this
chapter for special instructions about using safety
belts for children.
