PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap
while your vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the

child from injury in a crash.

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these

areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a safety belt properly.

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seat back upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit
where they can be properly restrained.

WARNING: All occupants of your vehicle, including the driver,
should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an

airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly
wear your safety belt could seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a safety

belt.

WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific
safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one

tongue that are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt
on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the
arm. 2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside
shoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.
