How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there
are
special things to know about
safety belts
and
children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be
riding in your vehicle, see the part of this manual
called “Children.” Follow those rules for
everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This
part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has
a
lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear
it properly.
1.
Close and lock the door.
2.
Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats”
in
the Index)
so
you can sit up straight.
3.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
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.
