How to Wear Safety Belts Properly

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 vehicle,
see Older Children on page 42 or Infants
and Young Children on page 45. Follow
those rules for everyone's protection.
First, you will want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We will start with the driver position.

Driver Position

Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how
to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
To see how, see "Seats" in the Index.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across
you. Do not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the
belt across you very quickly. If this happens,
let the belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across you more slowly.
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 is not long enough,
see Safety Belt Extender on page 41.
