Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Before putting on the seat belt, move
the driver's seat as far back as is
practical while still allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
Make sure the seat-back is upright
(see page 15). The passenger should
move the seat as far back as possible.
1. Pull the latch plate across your
body and insert it into the buckle.
Tug on the belt to make sure the
latch is securely locked.

2. Check that the belt is not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the belt
as low as possible across your
hips, not across your stomach.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash.

4. Pull up on the shoulder part of the
belt to remove any slack. Make
sure the belt goes over your
collarbone and across your chest.
