Seat Belt Restraint System

WARNING

Improperly worn seat belts may increase the risk of serious injury in an accident. Observe the following precautions when adjusting the seat belt:

  • Position the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possible on the hips, not on the waist, so that it fits snugly. This allows your strong pelvic bones to absorb the force of a collision, which reduces the likelihood of internal injuries.
  • Place one hand under the shoulder belt and the other above the lap belt, as shown in the illustration.
  • Always position the shoulder belt anchor in the locked position at the appropriate height.
  • Never place the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back.
