Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and
children. And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If
a
child will be riding in your vehicle, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to
know which restraint systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up
straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

Pull up
on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt
isn’t long enough, see “Safetv Belt Extender” at the end of
this section.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would
be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if
you ever had to.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as
you pull up
on the shoulder belt.
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.
