B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of inju-
ries in case of an accident.
B150G02A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve maxi-
mum effectiveness of the restraint sys-
tem, all passengers should be sitting up
and the front seats should be in an up-
right position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot provide proper protec-
tion if the person is lying down in the rear
seat or if the front seat is in a reclined
position.
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
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 serious
internal injuries or the occupant's neck
could strike the shoulder belt. Drivers
and passengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly belted (see
page 1-26), and with the seatbacks up-
right.
B150D01A-AAT
Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of
injury in an accident. When a seat belt is
used, the lap belt portion should be
placed as low and snugly as possible on
the hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a phy-
sician.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported. When
this is necessary, you should consult a
physician for recommendations.
