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.

-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.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Don’t let it get twisted.
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.
