Buckle, position and release
it
the same way as
the
lap
part
of
a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt
isn’t
long enough,
see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned
so
you
would be able to unbuckle
the
safety belt quickly
if
you
ever had to.
Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
To
make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until
the belt
is
snug.
