Essential Safety Equipment

Seat Belt Systems

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

One Belt, One Passenger:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used 
in this way can

’

t spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could be 

crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more 
than one person at a time.

Seat Belt Caught or Pinched in the Door:
Wearing a seat belt that is caught or pinched in the door is dangerous. The seat belt 
could become loose and not provide adequate protection in a sudden stop or collision. 
Always make sure the seat belt is not caught or pinched in the door.

Seat Belt with Seat Belt Slide Bar:
Placing your foot or other objects such as an umbrella on the seat belt slide bar is 
dangerous. The front seat belt is built in the rear door and the lower part of the seat 
belt slides forward or backward along the seat belt slide bar as the rear door opens or 
closes. If the seat belt slider is blocked, the seat belt could be improperly positioned 
and would provide little or no protection in a collision. Always make sure nothing is 
placed on the seat belt slide bar.

Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and rings are soiled, so try to keep them 
clean.
