The lap belt should be worn as low on
the hips as possible. 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.
It’s possible that an automatic belt
could keep you from fully opening a
door. That can happen
if
the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close the
door
all
the way, then slowly open it. If
that doesn’t fix it, then your Oldsmobile
needs service.
We hope you will always keep your
automatic belt buclded. However, you
may need to unbuckle it
in
an
emergency.
And you would need to unbuckle it to
let someone
get
into the center front
seat position, if your vehicle has one.
To
Unbuckle the Automatic Belt:
Just push the button
on
the buckle.
