down back seat. All occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the

ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the

occupants, or out of the vehicle.
Each seat belt is designed torestrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat belt,
they could be seriously injured or killedin a collision.
Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.

selves and the air bags. Carrying

attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere with
the proper operation of the air bags.

plemental restraint system sensing
