WARNING

S01AE01
. All persons in the vehicle should fasten their seatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move . Otherwise , the possibility of serious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or accident .
. All belts should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint . Loose fitting belts are not as effective in preventing or reducing injury .
. Each seatbelt is designed to support only one person . Never use a single belt for two or more persons – even children . Otherwise , in an accident , serious injury or death could result .
. Replace all seatbelt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware worn by occupants of a vehicle that has been in a serious accident . The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious .
. Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed . In an accident , this can increase the risk or severity of injury .
. Keep the lap belt as low as possible on your hips . In a collision , this spreads the force of the lap belt over stronger hip bones instead of across the weaker abdomen .
. Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits well back and upright in the seat . To reduce the risk of sliding under the seatbelt in a collision , the front seatbacks should be always used in the upright position while the vehicle is running . If the front seatbacks are not used in the upright position in a collision , the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase , and both can result in serious internal injury or death .
. Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions . If you do so , the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase , and both can result
