Safety features of your vehicle

223

Larger children

Children who are too large for child

restraint systems should always

occupy the rear seat and use the

available lap/shoulder belts. The lap

portion should be fastened and

snugged on the hips and as low as

possible. Check if the belt fits period-

ically. A child's squirming could put

the belt out of position. Children are

given the most safety in the event of

an accident when they are restrained

by a proper restraint system in the

rear seat. If a larger child (over age

12) must be seated in the front seat,

the child should be securely

restrained by the available lap/shoul-

der belt and the seat should be

placed in the rearmost position.

Children age 12 and under should be

restrained securely in the rear seat.

NEVER place a child age 12 and

under in the front seat. NEVER place

a rear facing child seat in the front

seat of a vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly

touches the child’s neck or face, try

placing the child closer to the center

of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still

touches their face or neck they need

to be returned to a child restraint sys-

tem.

Restraint of pregnant women

Pregnant women should wear

lap/shoulder belt assemblies when-

ever possible according to specific

recommendations by their doctors.

The lap portion of the belt should be

worn AS SNUGLY AND LOW AS

POSSIBLE on the hips, not a cross

the abdomen.

WARNING - Small

children

Do not allow small children to

ride in the vehicle without an

appropriate child restraint sys-

tem. If the shoulder belt comes

in contact with your child's neck

or face your child is too small to

ride in the vehicle. In a crash the

seat belt will inflict injury to

your child's neck, throat and

face.

WARNING - Pregnant

women

Pregnant women must never

place the lap portion of the seat

belt above or on the abdomen

where the fetus is located. The

force of the seat belt during a

collision will crush the fetus.
