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 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.
On
convertible models,
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.
