The lap
part
of
the belt should be worn
low
and snug
on
the hips, just touching the thighs.
Ln
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
a
crash.
I
A
CAUTION:
I
I
You can be seriously hurt
if
your shoulder belt
is
too
loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too
much,
which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should
fit
against your body.
t
To unlatch the belt, just push the button
on
the buckle.
