Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags (if equipped) aredesigned to supplement the seat belt
as an additional safety device, but
they are not a substitute. Most coun-
tries require all occupants of a vehicle
to wear seat belts.

passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the followingprecautions when adjusting andwearing seat belts:
Children under the age of 13
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

senger seat, move the seat as
far back as possible and prop-
erly restrain them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’slap.
