File:03ctsre.ex Update:Tue Sep 19 15:05:35 1995 [SR02100(ALL)08/95] RWARNING Passengers should not be allowed to ride in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a seat with a fastened seat belt are much more likely to suffer serious injury in a collision. Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from shifting and causing damage to the vehicle or harm to passengers. *[SR02200(ALL)06/95] RWARNING Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm.

If small children ride in your vehicle — this generally includes children who are four years old or younger and who weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) or less — you must put them in safety seats that are made specially for children. Safety belts alone do not provide maximum protection for these children.
