Wearing Seat Belts Properly
You can increase the effective-
ness of your seat belts if you take
a little time to read the following
pages and make sure you know
how to wear seat belts properly.
Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your
passengers always wear seat
belts and wear them properly.
The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Before putting on a front seat belt,
be sure your seat is adjusted
forward or backward to a good
driving or riding position and the
back of your seat is upright (see
page 52).
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 to see 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.
