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.
Driver 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.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on
the
latch plate
to
make sure it is secure.
If
the belt isn’t long enough. see “Safety
Belt
Extender” at the end
of
this section.
Make sure the release button
on
the buckle is
positioned
so
you
would
be able
to
unbuckle
the
safety belt quickly
if
you
ever had to.
