Fasten and Position the Seat

Belts

Using a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Insert the latch plate into the buckle,
then tug on the belt to make sure the
belt is securely latched. Check that
the belt is not twisted, because a
twisted belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash.
In the rear centre seating position,
be sure the detachable anchor is
latched securely (see page
18
Driver and Passenger Safety
131 ).
Position the lap part of the belt as
low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash and reduces
the chance of internal injuries.
If necessary, pull up on the belt again
to remove any slack, then check that
the belt rests across the centre of
your chest and over your shoulder.
This spreads the forces of a crash
over the strongest bones in your
upper body.
Improperly positioning the
seat belts can cause serious
injury or death in a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are
properly positioned before
driving.
