routed
and that no p~rtion of any safety belt is
trapped under the seat. Also make sure the seat
cushion is secured.
A safety belt that isn’t properly routed through
the
seat cushion or is twisted won’t provide the
protection needed
in a crash. If the sa€ety beit
hasn’t been routed through the seat cushion at
all, it won’t be there to work for the next
passenger. The person sitting
in that position
couId be badly injured. After reinstalling the seat
cushion, always check to be sure that the safety
belts are properly routed and
are not twisted.
