How
to
Wear
Safety
Belts Properly
Adults
This
part is only €or 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.
Driver
Position
This
part
describes the driver’s restraint system.
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.
Don’t let it get twisted.
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.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
