User Guide
The lap part of the belt should be
worn
low and snug on
the hips, j'ust 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.
