In addition the following recommenda- tions should be observed. SB090B1-E Babies/Small Children Babies and small children must be restrained using a restraint system spe-cifically designed for this purpose. Un- der no circumstances should a child be carried in the vehicle without the use ofa suitable restraint which meets the regulations in force in the country where the vehicle is in operation.

SB090C1-E Larger Children Larger children should occupy the rear seat and be restrained at all times. Therestraint may take the form of a special safety belt or the original factory fitted seat belt used in conjunction with anapproved booster cushion depending upon the size and weight of the child. Under no circumstances should chil-dren be allowed to travel standing, kneel- ing or lying on the seat. Never allow children to ride in the frontpassenger seat. SB090O1-E Pregnant Women The use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women. The seat belt should be worn as low and snugly as possible across the hips, not across the abdo-men. A qualified Medical Practitioner should be consulted for further informa- tion. SB090E1-E Injured Persons A seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. Forspecific recommendations, the advice of a qualified Medical Practioner should be sought. SB090F1-E Seat Belt Occupancy The seat belts are designed to be used by one seat occupant only. The use ofa seat belt by more than one person increases the levels of injury which may be sustained in the event of an accident. SE090G1-E Do Not Lie Down To ensure that the maximum level of protection may be afforded by the seat belt system, all passengers should besitting in an upright position throughout the journey. The seat belt will be unable to afford maximum protection if thefront seats are at or near the fully reclined position.
!WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckleup, your seat belts can't do their job when you're reclined. The shoulder belt can't do its jobbecause it won't be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into itwith great force, receiving serious neck or other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job either. Ina crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be applied there, not at your strongpelvic bones. This could cause seri- ous internal injuries. For proper protection when the ve-hicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat belt properly. Seepage 1-20.
