Owners Manual

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,
or
if
you
pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
/!\
CAUT,,A
You can be seriously hurt
if
your shoulder belt is
too loose.
In
a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.
