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

passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the followingprecautions when adjusting andwearing seat belts:

should be properly restrainedin the rear seats.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat, unless
the air bag is deactivated. If a

webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
