Lap-Shoulder
Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder
belts. Here’s how
to
wear one properly.
1.
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.
2.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
When the shoulder belt
is
pulled out all the way,
it will lock.
If
it does, let it
go
back all the way and
start again.
If
the belt is not long enough, see
Safety Belt Extender
on
page
7-29.
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.
