SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 1 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 . Tether Belts Do not twist the belt in the process of putting it on. A twisted belt will not work as well to protect you. In a crash, the full width of the belt would not be protecting you. A twisted belt could cut into your body and cause injuries. Straighten the belt before buckling it. If you are unable to wear it without twisting it, have your dealer or service person repair it as soon as possible. Failure to comply may result in personal injury or death. WARNING!
Tether belts are installed on suspension seats. They help secure the seat to the floor to restrain it in case of a sudden stop or an accident. WARNING! Do not wear the shoulder part of belt under your arm or otherwise out of position. In a crash your body would move too far forward, increas- ing the chance of head and neck in- jury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as your shoulder bones, and could cause you to suffer inter- nal injuries. Wear the shoulder belt over your shoulder (see Safety Re- straint Belts on page 1-23). Failure to comply may result in personal in- jury or death. 1-24 Y53-1203-1D1 (02/14)
