Warning

However in a sudden or strong stop,

or during heavy acceleration or

deceleration, the safety belt will lock

automatically to restrain the body.

In order to gain the full benefit of a

safety belt, you must wear it

correctly and position yourself

correctly within your seat, as

follows:

• Seatback upright (not reclined, to

prevent you from “submarining”

or slipping out from under the

safety belt, and injuring vulnera-

ble body parts in a crash.)

• Occupant sitting upright (not

slouched, to properly position the

lap and shoulder portions of the

safety belt for maximum restraint

and minimum injury to soft and

vulnerable parts of your body in a

crash)

(Continued)

Warning

• Safety belt latch plate and buckle

securely fastened with a “click” (if

the safety belt is not securely

latched, it cannot provide any

protection; pull on the belt to

make sure it is secure)

• Lap portion of safety belt snug

and low on hips and bony pelvis

(not abdomen where the restrain-

ing belt could cause serious injury

in a crash – THIS IS

PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT

FOR PREGNANT WOMEN)

• Shoulder portion of the safety

belts over your outside shoulder

and snug against the chest (not

under an arm, around your neck,

over an inside shoulder or behind

your back, and not loose with

slack allowing excessive forward

movement and injury in a crash)

(Continued)

Warning

• Only one occupant per one safety

belt (do not allow more than one

person in a safety belt; multiple

people in a single safety belt can

exceed the capacity of the safety

belts and people sharing a safety

belt can cause crushing and other

injuries to each other in a crash)

• Children in secure child seats (in a

crash the forces are too great for an

adult to hold onto a child and the

adult will crush the child if they

share the same safety belt)

• No unbelted occupants (occu-

pants not wearing a safety belt are

an injury threat to themselves and

to other occupants in the vehicle

because in a crash they become a

free-flying body that will strike

other persons in their path)
