PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Always drive and ride
with your seatback 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: 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: All occupants of your
vehicle, including the driver, should always
properly wear their safety belts, even when
an airbag supplemental restraint system
is provided.
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: 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.
WARNING: When possible, all
children 12 years old and under should be
properly restrained in a rear seating
position.
WARNING: Safety belts and seats
can become hot in a vehicle that has been
closed up in sunny weather; they could
burn a small child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child anywhere
near them.
WARNING: Front and rear seat
occupants, including pregnant women,
should wear safety belts for optimum
protection in an accident.

occupants of the vehicle should always
properly wear their safety belts, even when
