Seats Operating Instructions
– 48 – Y53-6008
Medium Duty (R10/06)
• Be sure, also, that your belt is not too loose. A loose belt
could allow you to slide under it in an accident, and that
could bring the belt up around your abdomen.
• Do not twist the belt in the process of putting it on. A
twisted belt will not work as well to protect you.
WARNING! Always wear your seat belt low over
your pelvic bones.
• You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled
too high. In a crash, it would apply force to your
abdomen, not your pelvic bones. This can result in
serious internal injuries.
• Do not drive with your seat belt loose. A seat belt
that is too loose can allow you to fall too far forward,
possibly causing head and neck injuries. You could
strike the wheel or the windshield. Adjust your belt
so that there is no more than 1 in. (25mm) of slack.
