applies also to your front and rear passengers – danger of injury!

glasses or pens, etc.) because this can cause injuries.  
•
Do not allow the seat belt to be damaged or jammed, or to rub on any  
sharp edges.

proper fit and function of the belts, reducing their capacity to protect.  
The slot in the seat belt buckle must not be blocked with paper or other  
objects, as this can prevent the latch plate from engaging securely.  
Never use seat belt clips, retaining rings or similar instruments to alter  
the position of the belt webbing.
