Section 2
When using a seat belt, sit up
straight and keep your feet on the
floor in front of you.
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 shoulder belt should not cross
the face or neck.
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
would be less likely to slide under
the lap belt. If you slid under it, the
belt would apply force to your
abdomen. This could cause serious
or even fatal injuries.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
This adjusts the height of the front
shoulder belt. You should adjust it
so the belt goes above your
shoulder and away from your face
and neck.
To move the height adjuster
down, press the release button
and slide it down to the proper
height.
To move the height adjuster up,
just push up on the shoulder belt
guide.
After setting the adjuster at the
proper height, pull it slightly down
to make sure it is locked in place.
Maladjustment of the safety
belt height could reduce the
effectiveness of the safety belt in a
crash.
