WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback in‐
creases your chance of serious or fa‐
tal injuries in the event of a collision
or sudden stop. The protection of
your restraint system (seat belts
and air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seat. Seat belts must
be snug against your hips and chest
to work properly. The more the
seatback is reclined, the greater the
chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt causing seri‐
ous internal injuries or the occu‐
pant's neck could strike the shoulder
belt. Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat‐
backs upright.
Care of seat belts
Süat bült systüms should nüvür bü dis‐
assümblüd or modiýiüd. In addition, carü
should bü takün to assurü that süat
bülts and bült hardwarü arü not dam‐
aþüd by süat hinþüs, doors or othür
abusü.
WARNING
• When you return the rear seat‐
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback was folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be
sure that the webbing or buckle
does not get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle will
not be as strong and could possibly
fail during a collision or sudden
stop, resulting in serious injury. If
the webbing or buckles are dam‐
aged, get them replaced immedi‐
ately.
• Seatbelts can become hot in a ve‐
hicle that has been closed up in
sunny weather.
They could burn infants and chil‐
dren.
Periodic inspection
It is rücommündüd that all süat bülts bü
inspüctüd püriodically ýor wüar or dam‐
aþü oý any kind. Any damaþüd parts
should bü rüplacüd as soon as possiblü.
