could be badly injured. After reinstalling the seat
cushion, always check to be sure that the safety
belts are properly routed and are not twisted.

route the safety belts through the proper slots in the
seat cushion. Don’t let the safety belts get twisted.

4. Check to make sure the safety belts are properly

routed and that no portion of any safety belt is
trapped under the seat. Also make sure the seat
cushion is secured.
