belt across you. Don't let it get
twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
If the belt stops before it reaches the
buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep
pulling until you can buckle it.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure

If the belt is not long enough, see
"Safety Belt Extender" at the end of
this section.

buckle is positioned so you would be
able to unbuckle the safety belt
quickly if you ever had to.
