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 cell phones, eye glasses,
pens, 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.

Adjustment of the seating position
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!
