CAUTION:
(Continuea)
up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re
reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it
won’t be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In
a
crash you could go into it,
receiving neck
or
other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In
a
crash the
belt could
go
up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not
at
your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up
or
down
so
that
the
top of
the
restraint is closest to
the
top
of
your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury
in
a
crash.
Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone
This part
of
the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells you some things
you
should not do
with safety belts.
And
it
explains the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS),
or air
bag
system.
A
CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear
a
safety belt properly.
If
you are in
a
crash and
you’re not wearing
a
safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse.
You
can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it.
You
can be seriously
injured
or
killed. In the same crash, you might
not be
if
you are buckled
up.
Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts
are fastened properly too.
