WARNING

•Buckle up and adjust your safety belt before driving off so that you can pay full attention to the traffic.

•Safety belts must be worn at all times by all car occupants.

•Child safety, see page 22.

•Check that the locking tongue is prop- erly locked in the belt lock.

•In the event of a crash, the rear-seat passengers not wearing a seatbelt will be thrown forward against the front-seat backrests. The stresses imposed on the front seat passengers and belts are multiplied and can result in needless injury or even death for all car occupants.

The results of studies show that it is equally important to wear safety belts in the rear seat as in the front seats.

Bear in mind that in certain states/provinces it is a legal requirement for all occupants of the car to wear a safety belt.
