Utilisation adéquate des ceintures de sécuritéTirez sur la ceinture épaulière
jusqu’à ce qu’elle recouvre
entièrement l’épaule; elle ne
doit cependant pas toucher le
cou ni glisser de l’épaule.
Placez la ceinture abdominale
le plus bas possible sur les
hanches.
Réglez la position du dossier du
siège. Tenez-vous assis dans le
fond du siège, le dos droit.
Ne vrillez pas la ceinture de
sécurité.

Si la ceinture épaulière est trop
près du cou d’une personne,
glissez le guide de la ceinture vers
l’avant.
