lDo not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate or buckle to be

lInspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

improperly and may cause death or serious injury.
Do not use the third center seat belt with
either buckle released. Fastening only
one of the buckles may result in death or
