To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle
end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part.

The lap part of the belt should be worn
low
and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this
applies force to the pelvic bones. And you’d be less
likely to slide under the lap belt.
If
you slid under it, the
belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could
cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt
should go over the shoulder and across the chest.
These parts
of
the body are best able to take belt
restraining forces.
