WARNING
!●
Always place the should
er belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
●
One seat belt should be used by only one person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
●
The seat belt will provid
e its wearer with maximum
protection if the recliner seat
back is placed in fully
upright position. When th
e seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that
the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially
in a forward impact acci-
dent, and may be injured by the belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
●
Seat belts should always be
worn by every adult who
drives or rides in this ve
hicle, and by all children
who are large enough to wear seat belts properly. Other children should always use proper childrestraint systems.
●
Remove any twists when using the belt.

Floor mats Carrying children in the vehicle
●
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition and children inside the vehicle. Children mayplay with the driving controls
and this could lead to an
accident.
●
Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection
in case of an accident.
●
Prevent children fr
om playing in the luggage compart-
ment. It is quite dangerous to allow them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggageWhen loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous no
t only because rearward vision
will be obstructed, but also the luggage may be projected into the passenger compartment under hard braking.
WARNING
!●
Keep floor mats clear of th
e pedals by correctly lay-
ing floor mats that are suitable for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of posi- tion, securely retain th
em using the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of an
other can obstruct pedal
operation and lead to a serious accident.
