WARNING

Riding in an improper position adversely affects the front passenger’s seat belt warning system. It is important for the driver to instruct the passenger to properly be seated as instructed in this manual.

Information

• Although the front passenger seat is not occupied, the seat belt warning light will blink or illuminate for 6 seconds. • The front passenger’s seat belt warning may operate when luggage is placed on the front passenger seat.

WARNING

Improperly positioned seat belts may increase the risk of serious injury in an accident. Take the following precautions when adjusting the seat belt:

• Position the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possible across your hips, not on your waist, so that it fits snugly. This allows your strong pelvic bones to absorb the force of the crash, reducing the chance of internal injuries.
• Position one arm under the shoulder belt and the other over the belt, as shown in the illustration.
• Always position the shoulder belt anchor into the locked position at the appropriate height.
• Never position the shoulder belt across your neck or face.
