4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your

abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up

on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight,

lift up on the shoulder belt and pull on the lap belt. A

snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a

collision.

WARNING!

• A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of

internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be

at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your

abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos-

sible and keep it snug.

• A twisted belt can’t do its job properly. In a

collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt

is straight. If you can’t straighten a belt in your

vehicle, take it to your authorized dealer immedi-

ately and have it fixed.

5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is

comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor

will withdraw any slack in the belt.
