Pontiac 1998 Firebird User Manual

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.
