Lap/Shoulder Belts

All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with
lap/shoulder belts.

The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during
very sudden stops or impacts. This feature allows the
shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under
normal conditions. However, in an collision, the belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of the
vehicle or being thrown out.

WARNING!

Do not allow people to ride in any area of your

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.

Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and

using a seat belt properly.

WARNING! (Continued)

Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat

belts are designed to go around the large bones of
your body. These are the strongest parts of your
body and can take the forces of a collision best.

Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make

your injuries in a collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out
of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers
safe, too.

Two people should never be belted into a single

seat belt. People belted together can crash into one
another in a collision, hurting one another badly.
Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more
than one person, no matter what their size.
