6.4 Seat Belts • Seat belts should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent
with comfort to properly secure the wearer in the seat.
6.4.1 General Warnings and Instructions
At least once each month, inspect the seat belt webbing for any
cuts, tears, or other signs of wear (such as fraying along the
edges). Also inspect the anchors, retractors, and buckles to be
sure they are tight and operational.
• All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat
belt no matter how short the trip in order to minimize the risk of
severe injury in the event of a crash. In an accident, an un-belted
passenger becomes a projectile, and can cause serious injury to
himself or another passenger.
• The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people
• In a rollover crash, an un-belted person is significantly more likely of adult size, must be properly used and maintained.
prone to Injury than a person wearing a seat belt
• For usage of adult seat belt to secure children refer to section
• In order to be properly buckled, you must always sit up straight on manual for child seat positions and use a child restraint
and keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part must systems
be worn low and tight across your hips, just touching the top of
your thighs. While fastening the seat belt, the shoulder strap of
the seat belt must pass over your chest and top of your
shoulder. It must never touch your neck, face, the side of your
shoulder, arm, or pass under your arm. The belt must always be
flat against your body and not twisted in any way. Nothing, such
as an arm rest, a pocketbook, or any external objects should be
between you and the seat belt. Improper wearing of a seat belt
will reduce the protection in an accident.
Seat Belts - Pregnant Women Each seat belt is meant for use by one person only. Using one
seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. The
seat belt will not be able to spread the impact forces properly
leading to serious injuries.
Never put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's
lap. This could lead to serious injuries.
Seat Belt Usage is Necessary to:
• Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle
• Reduce the possibility of injuries to upper body, lower body and
legs during an accident
Pregnant women must also wear seat belts. Consult your doctor • Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the

check the seat belt to be sure it remains snug and in position. A
squirming child could cause the seat belt to come out of position.
A pregnant woman should never wear the seat belt across the
stomach area. This could lead to serious injuries to the foetus
and/or the pregnant mother.
Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces will be

become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to
hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that
you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are..
6.6.3 Infant and Child Safety • When installing a child restraint system, do not let the seat

retracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs
may allow the child to reach the un-retracted seat belts
which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child restraint.
