W A R N I N G !
Improper use of any seatbelt can cause serious
personal injury or death.
To help reduce the risk of serious injury in an
accident:
* Never strap more than one person in place, with
each harness system.
* Never wear the harness system at the same time
as the original equipment seat belts.
* Never use the lap belt portion of the harness
system without the shoulder belts.
* Always make sure that lap belt and shoulder belts
are not twisted when worn.
* Never use the harness belt system for children
under the age of 12 years or to install an infant
seat or child seat.
* Never use the harness belt system for persons
who weigh less than 88 lbs or those who are less
than 4`11" tall, regardless of age.
* Always wear the lap belt portion of the harness
system low and tight across the pelvis. This is
also recommended for the stock 3-point belt
whenever it is worn.
* Never wear the belts over heavy clothing as it can
interfere with proper positioning and adjustment
of the belts, reducing the overall effectiveness of
the system.
* Never wear the belts over rigid or breakable
objects in or on your clothing, such as eye
glasses, pens, cell phones, jewelry, keys etc. as
these may cause injury.
* Never allow lap or shoulder belts to rub against
sharp objects.
* Never allow the belts to be damaged by becoming
caught in door or seat hardware.

Choose your most comfortable seating position for safe driving.
Driving and safety instructors recommend:
"Select your seating position in the vehicle so that you can fully
grip the upper edge of the steering wheel with your elbow still
slightly bent and without moving your upper body from the
seatback. With the clutch (automatic transmission-brake) fully
depressed your knee should still be slightly bent."
Remember: A "laid back" seating position might look 'cool', but
does not contribute in any way to better or safer handling of
your vehicle! No racing or rallye driver is "laid back" in his
vehicle!
