CAUTION

Rear seat belts

Seat belt restraint system

When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember

to return the rear shoulder belts to

their proper position.

WARNING

䳜 For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must

always be used whenever the car

is moving.

WARNING

䳜 Seat belts are most effective

when seatbacks are in the upright

position.

Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about

the vehicle in a collision and causing

injury to the vehicle occupants. Do

not place objects in the rear seats,

since they cannot be properly

䳜 Children age 13 and younger must

always be properly restrained in

secured and may hit the front seat

occupants in a collision.

WARNING

䳜 Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your

back. An improperly positioned

shoulder belt can cause serious

injuries in a crash. The shoulder

belt should be positioned midway

over your shoulder across your

collarbone.

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the dual

clutch transmission is in P (Park)

and the parking brake is securely

applied whenever loading or unload

ing cargo. Failure to take these

steps may allow the vehicle to move

if the shift lever is inadvertently

moved to another position.

-

䳜 Never wear a seat belt over frag

-

ile objects. If there is a sudden

stop or impact, the seat belt can

damage it.

䳜 Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

the bony structure of the body, and

should be worn low across the front

of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and

䳜 When fastening the seat belt,

make sure that the seat belt does

not pass over objects that are

hard or can break easily.

䳜 Make sure there is nothing in the

fastened securely.

Cleaning may safely be carried out

using mild soap and water. The belt

should be replaced if webbing

becomes frayed, contaminated or

damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in a
