• A properly positioned shoulder belt should be positioned midway over your shoulder, across your collarbone.

• Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. See More Details for further discussion.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and should be worn with the lap part of the belt low and snug across the hips and shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the front of the chest as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the most protection for which they have been designed.

A slack belt can greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Use mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

• No modifications or additions should be made by the user which would either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

• When you fasten the seat belt, be careful not to latch the seat belt in buckles of other seats. It is very dangerous and you may not be properly protected.

• Do not unfasten the seat belt and do not fasten and unfasten the seat belt repeatedly while driving. This could cause loss of control, and an accident causing death, serious injury, or property damage.

• When fastening the seat belt, make sure that the seat belt does not pass over objects other than clothing.
