Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in
the event of an accident and to
achieve maximum effectiveness of
the restraint system, all passengersshould be sitting up and the front
seats should be in an upright posi-
tion when the car is moving. A seat
belt cannot provide proper protection
if the person is lying down in the rearseat or if the front seat is in a reclinedposition.Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly reduced by reclining
your seat. Seat belts must be
snug against your hips and
chest to work properly. The more
the seatback is reclined, the
greater the chance that an occu-pant's hips will slide under thelap belt causing serious internal
injuries or the occupant's neckcould strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat-
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback was folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.Be sure that the webbing or
buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. A seat
belt with damaged webbing or
buckle will not be as strong and
could possibly fail during a col-
lision or sudden stop, resulting
in serious injury. If the webbing
or buckles are damaged, get
them replaced immediately.
