This section describes how to use
the seat belts properly. It also
describes some of the things not to
do when using seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags are designed to
supplement the seat belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they are not
a substitute. Most states require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.

Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting
and wearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
NEVER allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must
be seated in the front seat,
move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child to be carried on an occu-
pant's lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the vehicle is
moving.

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
Do not allow children to sharea seat or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind
your back.
Always wear both the shoul- der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.
Do not use the seat belt if it is twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
