Proper use of seat belts

Follow these guidelines for proper use:

•

All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position 
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the 
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

•

Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.

•

Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.

•

Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort 
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability 
and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

About Your Seat Belts

If a passenger moves around and extends the seat 
belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If this 
happens, release the retractor by unfastening the 
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. 
Then refasten the belt.
