WARNING  
WARNING  
65D231S  
• 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)  
(Continued)  
• Seat belts should never be worn  
with the straps twisted and should  
be adjusted as tightly as is com-  
fortable to provide the protection  
for which they have been designed.  
A slack belt will provide less pro-  
tection than one which is snug.  
• 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.  
WARNING  
Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times.  
WARNING  
An air bag supplements, or adds to,  
the frontal crash protection offered  
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-  
sengers must be properly restrained  
by wearing seat belts at all times,  
whether or not an air bag is mounted  
at their seating position, to minimize  
the risk of severe injury or death in  
the event of a crash.

• Never use the same seat belt on  
more than one occupant and never  
attach a seat belt over an infant or  
child being held on an occupant’s  
lap. Such seat belt use could cause  
serious injury in the event of an  
accident.  
• For children, if the shoulder belt  
irritates the neck or face, move the  
child closer to the center of the  
vehicle.  
as low as possible  
across the hips  
• Avoid contamination of seat belt  
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-  
cals, and particularly battery acid.  
Cleaning may safely be carried out  
using mild soap and water.  
• Do not insert any items such as  
coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt  
buckles, and be careful not to spill  
liquids into these parts. If foreign  
materials get into  
buckle, the seat belt may not work  
properly.  
• All seatbacks should always be in  
an upright position when driving,  
or seat belt effectiveness may be  
reduced. Seat belts are designed to  
offer maximum protection when  
seatbacks are in the upright posi-  
tion.  
• Periodically inspect seat belt  
assemblies for excessive wear and  
damage. Seat belts should be  
replaced if webbing becomes  
frayed, contaminated, or damaged  
in any way. It is essential to replace  
the entire seat belt assembly after it  
has been worn in a severe impact,  
even if damage to the assembly is  
not obvious.

• Pregnant women should use seat  
belts, although specific recommen-  
dations about driving should be  
made by the woman’s medical advi-  
sor. Remember that the lap portion  
of the belt should be worn as low  
as possible across the hips, as  
shown in the diagram.  
• Children age 12 and under should  
ride properly restrained in the rear  
seat.  
• Infants and small children should  
never be transported unless they  
are properly restrained. Restraint  
systems for infants and small chil-  
dren can be purchased locally and  
should be used. Make sure that the  
system you purchase meets appli-  
cable safety standards. Read and  
follow all the directions provided by  
the manufacturer.  
• Do not wear your seat belt over  
hard or breakable objects in your  
pockets or on your clothing. If an  
accident occurs, objects such as  
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat  
belt can cause injury.

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)  
The seat belt has an emergency locking  
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock  
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or  
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt  
across your body very quickly. If this hap-  
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, then  
pull the belt across your body more slowly.

To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt  
during a collision, position the lap portion  
of the belt across your lap as low on your  
hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit  
by pulling the shoulder portion of the belt  
upward through the latch plate. The length  
of the diagonal shoulder strap adjusts itself  
to allow freedom of movement.  
To fasten the seat belt, sit up straight and  
well back in the seat, pull the latch plate  
attached to the seat belt across your body  
and press it straight into the buckle until  
you hear a “click”.
