Seat belt warning
Follow this warning as well as the instruction for seat belt in this book.
A WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. • Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. • Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) • It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap,
In the case where a "Seat Belt Assembly'' incorporates an "Automatic Length Adjusting and Locking Retractor' or an "Emergency Locking Retractor'.
A WARNING
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. Referring to the SEAT BELT instruction in this book, adjust the seat belt so that the lap and sash portions of the Seat Belt Assembly fit as firmly as possible consistent with comfort.
