SAFETY RRST---------------------------------------------------
How to wear safety belts
properly
Safety belts must always be prop­
erly positioned across the strongest
bones of your body.
�W ARNING
Always fasten your safety belts
before driving off. Always make
sure your passengers are properly
restra ined -even those sitting in
the rear.
Safety belts can work only when
used properly. Never wear safety
belts in any other way than illus­
trated and described in this sec­
tion. Always observe the follow­
ing precautions:
• Never wear belts twisted.
18 '41
WARNING continued
• Never strap more than one par­
son, including small children, into
any belt. It is especially dangerous
to place a safety belt over a child
sitting on your lap.
• Never place your feet on the in­
strument panel or on the seat.
Always keep both feet on the floor
in front of the seat.
• Never wear belts over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eye glasses,
pens, keys, etc., as these may
cause injury.
• Do not wear the shoulder part of
the belt under your arm or other­
wise out of position.
• Several layers of heavy clothing
may interfere with proper posi­
tioning of belts and reduce the
overall effectiveness of the sys­
tem. �
WARNING continued
• Never allow safety belts to be­
come damaged by being caught in
door or seat hardware. Always
keep belt buckles free of any ob­
struction that may prevent secure
locking.
• Never use comfort clips or de­
vices that create slack in the
shoulder belt portion. However,
clips may be required for the
proper use of some child restraint
systems.
• To rn or frayed safety belts can
tear and damaged belt hardware
can break in an accident. Inspect
belts periodically.
If belts show damage to webbing,
bindings, buckles. or retractors,
have them replaced.
