Correct Fastening Of The Safety Belts - Daewoo Kalos User Manual

Always fasten your safety belts cor-
rectly:
1. Close and lock the doors.
2. Make sure seatback is upright.
3. Pick up the safety belt latch plate and
use it to pull the belt across your
body. Make sure the belt is not
twisted. If the seat belt locks as you
are pulling it out, allow it to rewind
into the retractor. Pull the seat belt
out again to a comfortable and se-
cure length.
4. Position the shoulder belt midway
over the shoulder and across the
chest. Never place the shoulder belt

across the neck. This assures that in
the case of a collision, the belt ap-
plies force to the shoulder bones and
keeps the impact away from ribs or
neck, helping to avoid serious inter-
nal injuries.
5. Wear the lap belt low and snug on
the hips, not the waist. This assures
that in the case of a collision, the
belt applies force to the pelvic bones
and not the abdomen, helping to
avoid serious injuries.
6. Push the latch plate firmly into the
buckle until the mechanism clicks.
Make sure you are using the proper
buckle. Be sure to position the re-
lease button on the buckle so you can
unbuckle the seat belt quickly if nec-
essary.
7. Pull up on the latch plate to make
sure it is secure.
SEATS AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS 1–7
To remove the seat belt, press the red
button on the buckle. The belt will re-
tract automatically. Guide the safety
belt as it retracts to prevent the latch
plate from damaging interior surfaces
or injuring occupants.
