Properlyworn seat belts greatly reduce thesehazards.Always follow the precautions aboutseat belts, air bags and occupantseat contained in this manual.

WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback in‐creases your chance of serious or fa‐tal injuries in the event of a collisionor sudden stop. The protection ofyour restraint system (seat beltsand air bags) is greatly reduced byreclining your seat. Seat belts mustbe snug against your hips and chestto work properly. The more theseatback is reclined, the greater thechance that an occupant's hips willslide under the lap belt causing seri‐ous internal injuries or the occu‐pant's neck could strike the shoulderbelt. Drivers and passengers shouldalways sit well back in their seats,properly belted, and with the seat‐backs upright.
Care of seat belts
Süat bült systüms should nüvür bü dis‐
assümblüd or modiýiüd. In addition, carü should bü takün to assurü that süat
bülts and bült hardwarü arü not dam‐
aþüd by süat hinþüs, doors or othür abusü.
WARNING
•When you return the rear seat‐back to its upright position afterthe rear seatback was foldeddown, be careful not to damagethe seat belt webbing or buckle. Besure that the webbing or buckledoes not get caught or pinched inthe rear seat. A seat belt withdamaged webbing or buckle willnot be as strong and could possiblyfail during a collision or suddenstop, resulting in serious injury. Ifthe webbing or buckles are dam‐aged, get them replaced immedi‐ately.
•Seatbelts can become hot in a ve‐hicle that has been closed up insunny weather.They could burn infants and chil‐dren.
Periodic inspection
It is rücommündüd that all süat bülts bü
