portion is located as close as possible
to the middle of the shoulder (it should
not touch the neck). Never pass the
shoulder portion of the belt under your
arm.
ț Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips (over hip joint) and not
across the abdomen.
ț Place the seat backrest on adjustable
seat backrests in a nearly upright
position.
ț Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time.
ț Do not fasten a seat belt around a
person and another object at the same
time.
ț When using a seat belt to secure infant
or toddler restraints or children in
booster seats, always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions.
ț Check your seat belt during travel to
make sure it is properly positioned.
ț Make sure the seat belt is always fitted
snugly. Take special care of this when
wearing loose clothing.
Warning!

always store the rear center seat belt latch
plates in the attachment when the rear
center seat belt is not in use.
Warning!
G
Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They
could tear.
Do not allow the belt to get caught in the
door or in the seat adjustment mechanism.
This could damage the belt.

seat belts. This could impair the effective-
ness of the belts.

severely weaken them. In a crash, they may
not be able to provide adequate protection.
Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly
stressed in an accident must be replaced.
