•Seat belts are most effective whenseatbacks are in the upright posi‐tion.
•Children age 12 and younger mustalways be properly restrained inthe rear seat. Never allow childrento ride in the front passenger seat.If a child over 12 must be seated inthe front seat, he/she must beproperly belted and the seatshould be moved as far back aspossible.

•Never wear a seat belt over fragileobjects. If there is a sudden stopor impact, the seat belt can dam‐age it.
•Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.A twisted belt can't do its job aswell. In a collision, it could even cutinto you. Be sure the belt webbingis straight and not twisted.
•Be careful not to damage the beltwebbing or hardware. If the beltwebbing or hardware is damaged,replace it.

•Seat belts should be adjusted asfirmly as possible, consistent withcomfort, to provide the protectionfor which they have been de‐signed.
•A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer.Care should be taken to avoid con‐tamination of the webbing withpolishes, oils and chemicals, andparticularly battery acid.
•Cleaning may safely be carried outusing mild soap and water. Thebelt should be replaced if webbingbecomes frayed, contaminated ordamaged. It is essential to replacethe entire assembly after it hasbeen worn in a severe impact evenif damage to the assembly is notobvious. Belts should not be wornwith straps twisted. Each belt as‐sembly must only be used by oneoccupant; it is dangerous to put abelt around a child being carried onthe occupant's lap.
