Properly worn safety belts are the single most effective means of reducing the risk of serious
injury and death in a collision or other accident. For this reason, always wear your safety belt
properly and make sure all passengers wear their safety belts properly as well whenever the
vehicle is moving.
The driver must always make sure that every person in the vehicle is properly seated on a
seat of his or her own, properly fastens the safety belts belonging to that seat before the vehi‐
cle starts to move, and keeps the belts properly fastened while riding in the vehicle. This ap‐
plies even when just driving around town. Therefore, always wear your safety belts and make
sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly restrained.
Always secure children in the vehicle with a restraint system appropriate for their age, weight
and height ⇒Child safety and child restraints .
Always fasten safety belts correctly before driving off and make sure that all passengers are
properly restrained.
Never attach the safety belt to the buckle of another seat. Attaching the safety belt to the
wrong buckle will reduce safety belt effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never let any objects or liquids get into the safety belt latch and prevent it from working
properly.
Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle is moving. Doing so will increase your risk of be‐
ing injured or killed.
Never strap more than one person, including small children, into any single safety belt.
Never let children or babies ride sitting on your lap, and never place a safety belt over a child
sitting on your lap.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your clothing, such as eyeglasses,
pens, keys, etc., as these may cause injury.
Several layers of heavy clothing (such as a coat worn over a sports jacket) may interfere with
proper positioning of the safety belt and reduce the overall effectiveness of the system.
Never use comfort clips or devices that create slack in the shoulder belt. However, special
clips may be required for the correct use of some child restraint systems.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat backrest is upright and belts are cor‐
rectly positioned on the body.
