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.
