WARNING! (Continued)
In a collision, you and your passengers can
suffer much greater injuries if you are not prop-
erly buckled up.You can strike the interior of your
vehicle or other passengers,or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle.Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle.In a collision,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 seat
belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make
your injuries in a collision much worse.You might
suffer internal injuries,or you could even slide out
of the seat belt. Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers
safe, too.

WARNING! (Continued)
Two people should never be belted into a single
seat belt. People belted together can crash into
one another in a collision, hurting one another
badly. Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt
for more than one person, no matter what their
size.
A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of
injury in a collision.The seat belt forces won’t be
at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across
your abdomen.Always wear the lap part of your
seat belt as low as possible and keep it snug.
A twisted seat belt may not protect you prop-
erly. In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the seat belt is flat against your body, with-
out twists. If you can’t straighten a seat belt in
your vehicle, take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
A seat belt that is buckled into the wrong
buckle will not protect you properly. The lap
portion could ride too high on your body,possibly
causing internal injuries.Always buckle your seat
belt into the buckle nearest you.
