How
to
Wear
Safety
Belts
Properly
Adults
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 the part
of
this manual called
“Children.” 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.
Driver
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 (to
see
how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so
you can sit up straight.
3.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let
it
get twisted.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull
up
on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end
of
this section.
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.
