Examples of improper seating positions
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS
Not wearing or improperly fastening safety belts increases the risk of
severe or fatal injuries. Safety belts can work only when they are
properly positioned on the body. An improper seating position signifi-
cantly impairs the protection provided by safety belts. This can cause
severe or even fatal injuries. Improper seating positions also increase
the risk of serious injury or death when an airbag deploys and strikes
an occupant who is not in the proper seating position. The driver is
responsible for all passengers and especially children riding in the
vehicle.
The following are only some examples of seating positions that will
increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
Never stand up in the vehicle.
Never stand on the seats.
Never kneel on the seats.
Never ride with the seat backrest reclined.
Never lean up against the instrument panel.
Never lie down on the rear seat.
Never sit on the edge of the seat.
Never sit sideways.
Never lean out the window.
Never put your feet out the window.
Never put feet on the instrument panel.
Never rest your feet on the seat cushion or back of the seat.
Never ride in the footwell.
Never sit or stand on an armrest.
Never ride without your safety belt properly fastened.
Never ride in the luggage compartment.
