Proper Use Of Your Seat Lap And Shoulder Belt - GEM e2 2005 Owner's Manual

Understanding the Features of Your Vehicle

Proper Use Of Your Seat Lap and Shoulder Belt

1. Enter the vehicle and sit back.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp
the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the
webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a click.
Make sure the button on the buckle faces upward or
outward, so that you are able to unbuckle your seat belt
quickly.
4. Position the lap belt plate across your thighs, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up a bit
on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it's too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable
and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any
slack in the belt.
