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.

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.
The shoulder belt may lock
if
you pull the belt across
you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly
to
unlock
it.
Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.
