How
to
Wear Safety
Belts
Properly
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
Older Children on page
7-30
or
lnfants and Young Children
on
page
1-32.
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.

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
so
you can sit up straight. To see
how, see “Seats” in the Index.
3.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock
if
you
pull the belt
across you very quickly.
If
this happens, let the belt
go back slightly
to
unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more
slowly.
