Lap Belt
If your vehicle has front and rear bench seats, someone can sit
in
the
center
positions.
When you sit in a
center seating
position, you have a
lap safety belt, which
has no retractor. To
make the belt longer,
tilt the latch plate and
pull it along the belt.
To make the belt
shorter, pull its free
end as shown until the
belt is snug.
Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a
lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn't long enough, see "Safety Belt Extender"
at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be
able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
