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.

Lap-Shoulder Belt

The driver has a lap shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it properly.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
-
The lap 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.
