Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
adjuster to the height that is right for
you.
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 strong 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.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or crash.
To move it down, squeeze the release handle and move
the height adjuster to the desired position. You can move
the adjuster up just by pushing up on the bottom
of
the
release handle. After you move the adjuster to where
you want it, try to move
it
down without squeezing the
release handle to make sure it has locked into position.
