The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug
on
the hips, just touching the thighs.
In
a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely
to slide under the lap belt.
If
you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should
go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if
there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
adjuster to the height that is right for you.
To move
it
down, push in at the top of the arrows and
move the height adjuster to the desired position. You can
move the adjuster up just by pushing up on the shoulder
belt guide. After you move the adjuster to where you
want it, try to move
it
down without pushing in to make
sure
it
has locked into position.
