WARNING

￿Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.

￿Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and re- ceive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap
