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.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver's restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see "Seats" in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
3. 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.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
