For your safety, comply with the
following instructions for wearing

safety belts. If you do not, the safety
belts may not be able to provide their
maximum protection. The following in-
formation also applies to your passen-
gers: never allow more than one person
to wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a
passenger's lap. Avoid twisting the belt
while routing it firmly across the hips
and shoulder. Do not allow the belt to
rest against hard or fragile objects in
your pockets. Never route the belt
across your neck, do not run it across
sharp edges and ensure that the belt
does not become caught or jammed.
Be sure that the safety belt fits snugly
against your body at all times, and
avoid wearing clothing that prevents
the belt from fitting properly. Pull on the
belt periodically to readjust the tension
over your shoulder. In the event of a
frontal impact, a loose lap belt could
slide over your hips, leading to abdomi-
nal injury. In addition, the safety belt's
restraint effectiveness is reduced if the
belt is worn loosely. Expectant mothers
should always wear their safety belts,
taking care to position the lap belt
against the lower hips, where it will not
exert pressure against the abdominal
area.
