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
Oldsmobile,
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.
