WARNING
Wear your seat belts at all times.
WARNING
An airbag supplements or adds to the
frontal collision protection offered by
seat belts. The driver and all passen-
gers must be properly restrained by
wearing seat belts at all times,
whether or not an airbag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a collision.

Do not modify, remove, disassemble
seat belts. Doing so may prevent
them from functioning properly and
cause the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a collision.

Above the pelvis
WARNING
• Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
• Seat belts should always
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.
