To
make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown
until
the belt is snug.
Buckle, position and release it the same way
as the lap
part of a lap-shoulder belt.
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.
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.
