Rear
Seat
Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people
in
the rear
seat are
hurt
more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out
of
the
vehicle
in
a
crash. And they can strike others
in
the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Lap-Shoulder
Belt
The rear seats have lap-shoulder belts. Here’s how to
wear
one properly.
1.
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.
2.
Push
the latch plate into
the
buckle until it clicks.
