Q:
What
is
wrong
with
this?
A:
The
belt
is
twisted
across
the
body.
{
CAUTION:
You
can
be
seriously
injured
by
a
twisted
belt.
In
a
crash,
you
would
not
have
the
full
width
of
the
belt
to
spread
impact
forces.
If
a
belt
is
twisted,
make
it
straight
so
it
can
work
properly,
or
ask
your
dealer/retailer
to
fix
it.
