Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers
to
buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who
are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out of
the
vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
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.
On
four-door models, 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.
