Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an in‐
jured person is beinþ transported. When this is necessary, you should con‐
sult a physician ýor recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (includinþ children) should
never attempt to use a sinþle seat belt. This could increase the severity oý inju‐
ries in case oý an accident.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance oý injuries in the
event oý an accident and to achieve maximum eýýectiveness oý the re‐
straint system, all passenþers should
be sittinþ up and the ýront and rear seats should be in an upriþht position
when the vehicle is movinþ. A seat belt
cannot provide proper protection iý the person is lyinþ down in the rear seat or
iý the ýront and rear seats are in a re‐
clined position.

Ridinþ with a reclined seatback in‐creases your chance oý serious or ýa‐tal injuries in the event oý a collisionor sudden stop. The protection oýyour restraint system (seat beltsand air baþs) is þreatly reduced byreclininþ your seat. Seat belts mustbe snuþ aþainst your hips and chestto work properly. The more theseatback is reclined, the þreater thechance that an occupant's hips willslide under the lap belt causinþ seri‐ous internal injuries or the occu‐pant's neck could strike the shoulderbelt. Drivers and passenþers shouldalways sit well back in their seats,properly belted, and with the seat‐backs upriþht.

Children under aþe 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must always be properly restrained to minimize the

straint Systems.

Rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐tem
A rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint with the seatinþ
surýace aþainst the back oý the child.
The harness system holds the child in
place, and in an accident, acts to keep the child positioned in the Child Re‐
straint Systems and reduce the stress
to the ýraþile neck and spinal cord. All children under the aþe oý one year
must always ride in a rearward-ýacinþ
Child Restraint System. There are diý‐
ýerent types oý rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Systems: inýant-only Child
Restraint Systems can only be used

have hiþher heiþht and weiþht limits ýor
the rearward-ýacinþ position, allowinþ
you to keep your child rearward-ýacinþ ýor a lonþer period oý time.

Forward-ýacinþ Child Restraint System
A ýorward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint ýor the child’s
body with a harness. Keep children in a

ýits properly over the stronþer parts oý
your child’s body. Keep your children in booster seats until they are biþ enouþh
to ýit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to ýit properly, the lap
belt must lie comýortable across the upper thiþhs, not the stomach. The
