by restraining forward mo­
tion of the upper torso in a colli­
sion. This
is primarily true in case
of frontal impacts, which are the
most frequent type of accident. Shoulder
belts are fastened and
unfastened in the same manner
as
lap belts. A shoulder belt should
have sufficient slack to insert a fist's
width between your chest and the
belt. This can be checked by insert­
ing a clenched
fist between the belt
and your chest with thumb against
chest and back of hand facing up­
ward.
Releasing Belts -To release the
belts, simply depress the release tab
or button located

Seat Belt Inspection
And Care (All)
• Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from belts.
• Periodically inspect belts,
buckles, retractors, and anchors
for damage that could lessen the
effectiveness of the restraint
system.
• Have questionable parts re­
placed.
• Replace belts if cut, weakened,
frayed,
or subjected to collision
loads.
• Check that anchor mounting
bolts are tight to the floor.
• Keep seat belts clean and dry.
• Clean only with mild soap solu­
tion and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken belts.
