Manual Front Lap Belts (U.S. vehicles
equipped with motorized passive restraint)
You should always wear the lap belt in addition
to the shoulder belt.
The lap belts should fit snugly and as low
as possible around the hips, not around
the waist.
Front and rear seat occupants, including
pregnant women, should wear both lap
and shoulder belts for optimum protection
in a collision.
To fasten the lap belt: Pull the belt out of the
retractor and bring it across your lap. Insert the
tongue into the buckle until it snaps and locks in
place.
