which reduces the effectiveness of the
seat belts as a safety device, make
sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
Seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat

The seatbacks can be adjusted to different
angles. To adjust the seatback angle, pull
up the lever on the outboard side of the
seat, move the seatback to the desired

Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
Seat belts should always be adjusted so the lap portion of the
belt is worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist. Shoulder
straps should be worn on the
outside shoulder only, and never
under the arm. Seat belts should
never be worn with the straps
twisted and should be adjusted as

the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will
provide less protection than one
which is snug.

catch.
Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
