The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Before putting on a seat belt, be
sure your seat is adjusted forward
or backward to a good driving or
riding position and the back of your
seat is upright (see page 50).
1. Pull the latch plate across your
body and insert it into the buckle.
Tug on the belt to make sure the
latch is securely locked.
2. Check that the belt is not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the
belt as low as possible across
your hips, not across your
stomach. This lets your strong
pelvic bones take the force of a
crash.
4. Pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt to remove any slack.
Make sure the belt goes over
your collarbone and across your
chest.
