3-18 Seats and Restraints
Sit up straight and always keep
your feet on the floor in front
of you.
Always use the correct buckle
for your seating position.
Wear the lap part of the belt low
and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash,
this applies force to the strong
pelvic bones and you would be
less likely to slide under the lap
belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
Wear the shoulder belt over the
shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining
forces. The shoulder belt locks if
there is a sudden stop or crash.
WARNING
You can be seriously injured,
or even killed, by not wearing
your safety belt properly.
Never allow the lap or
shoulder belt to become
loose or twisted.
Never wear the shoulder belt
under both arms or behind
your back.
Never route the lap or
shoulder belt over an
armrest.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt except for
the center front passenger position,
if equipped, which has a lap belt.
See Lap Belt on page 3 24 for more
information.
The lap shoulder belts for the first
and second row seating positions
are equipped with free falling latch
plates. If the vehicle has a third row,
the lap shoulder belts have either
free falling or cinching latch plates.
