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.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder
belts. Here’s how to wear one properly.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger
Positions
1.
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.
