Wearing Seat Belts Properly
You can increase the effectiveness
of your seat belts if you take a little
time to read the following pages
and make sure you know how to
wear seat belts properly.
Not wearing a seat belt pro-
perly increases the chance of
serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you and your passen-
gers always wear seat belts
and wear them properly.
The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Before putting on a front seat belt,
be sure your seat is adjusted
forward or backward to a good
driving or riding position and the
back of your seat is upright (see
page 50).
1. Pull the latch plate across your
body and insert it into the buckle.
Tug on the belt to make sure the
latch is securely locked.
2. Check that the belt is not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the
belt as low as possible across
your hips, not across your
stomach. This lets your strong
pelvic bones take the force of a
crash.
