3.
Pick up the latch
plate and pull
the
belt across you.
Don’t let it get
twisted.
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 isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end
of
this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle
is positioned so you would
be able
to
unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
The lap part
of
the belt should be
worn
low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones.
And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If
you
slid under it, the
belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious
or
even
fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should
go
over the shoulder and across the
chest. These parts
of
the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if
there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
