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.
To
unlatch the belt, just push the button
on
the
buckle.
