J76Y.book Page 8 Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:04 PM Essential Safety Equipment Seat Belt Systems WARNING Twisted Seat Belts: Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt isn't available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt, which could break them or cause other serious injury or death. Don't wear twisted seat belts. 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. CAUTION Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and rings are soiled, so try to keep them clean. Ring M Pregnant Women and Persons with Serious Medical Conditions Pregnant women should wear seat belts. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS. Persons with serious medical conditions also should wear seat belts. Check with your doctor for any special instructions regarding specific medical conditions. 2-8 Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F
