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
crash.
On
convertible models, the safety belt also locks
if
you
pull the belt
very
quickly out of the retractor.
