How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety
belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies. If a child will be riding in your
Oldsmobile, see the part of this manual called "Children."
Follow those rules for everyone's protection.
First, you'll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We'll start with the driver position.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let
it
get twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is
secure.
If the belt isn't long enough, see "Safety Belt
Extender" at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned
so
you would be
able
to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if
you ever had to.
