●

the neck or the arm.
● The seat belt must lie flat and fit comforta-
bly on the torso

●
the pelvis, never across the stomach. The
seat belt must lie flat and fit comfortably on
the pelvis Pull the belt tight if necessary to
take up any slack.

●
seat belt must lie as low as possible over the
pelvis and always lie flat, "surrounding" the

●
tened.
