RWARNING
Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never
swing it around the neck over the inside shoulder. Never
use a single belt for more than one person or across more
than one seating position. Each seating position in your
vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which is made
up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed to be
used as a pair. Failure to follow these precautions could
increase the risk and/or severity of injury in a collision.
*
[SR02100(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Never drive or ride with a twisted or jammed safety belt.
If you cannot untwist or unjam the safety belt, see the
nearest qualified technician immediately.
*
[SR02200(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Children should always ride with the seatback in the
fully upright position. When the seatback is not fully
upright, there is a greater risk that the child will slide
under the safety belt and be seriously injured in a
collision.
*
[SR02300(ALL)08/95]
RWARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap
while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a collision.
*
[SR02700(ALL)09/95]
RWARNING
Lock the doors of your vehicle before driving to lessen
the risk of the door coming open in a collision.

[SR10000(ALL)05/95]
Combination Lap and Shoulder Belts
[SR10050(ALL)06/95]
While your vehicle is in motion, the combination lap and
shoulder belt adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake
hard, turn hard, or if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the lap and shoulder belt locks and helps to
reduce your forward movement.
*
[SR10200(ALL)05/95]
After you get into your vehicle, close the door and lock it. Then
adjust the seat to the position that suits you best.
[SR10400(ALL)06/95]
To fasten the belt, pull the combination lap and shoulder belt
from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt
crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt is not twisted.
If it is, remove the twist. Insert the belt tongue into the proper
buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on tongue.
