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 countries require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.
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:
•Children under the age of 13
should be properly restrained
in the rear seats.
•Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat, unless
the air bag is deactivated. If a
child is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, move the seat as
far back as possible and prop-
erly restrain them in the seat.
•NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’s
lap.
•NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
•Do not allow children to share
a seat or seat belt.
WARNING •Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a sud-
den stop or impact, the seat
belt can damage it.
•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
whilst 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.
