LAP BELT
This section is only for the lap belt. To
learn how to wear a lap-shoulder belt,
see Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 2-17.
The vehicle may have a second row
center seating position with a lap belt.
The lap belt has no retractor.
To make the belt longer, tilt the latch
plate and pull it along the belt. Buckle,
position and release it the same way as
the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt.
To make the belt shorter, pull its free
end as shown until the belt is snug.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle is positioned so you would be
able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if necessary.
If you find that the latch plate will not
go fully into the buckle, see if you are
using the correct buckle. Be sure that
the latch plate clicks when inserted into
the buckle.
To unlatch the belt, push the button on
the buckle.
2-20 Seats and Restraints
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a safety belt is
worn properly, it is more likely that the
fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key
to make safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.
