Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems: 3 BEFORE DRIVING Above the pelvis Across the pelvis as low as possible across the hips 65D606 65D201 65D199 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 be 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. (Continued) WARNING (Continued) • Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is comfortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less protection than one which is snug. (Continued) WARNING (Continued) • Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommendations about driving should be made by the woman's medical advisor. Remember that the lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, as shown in the diagram. • Make sure that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle catch. It is possible to cross the buckles in the rear seat. (Continued) 2-23 80J22-03E
