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 so you’d be less likely
to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under
it, the belt would apply force at your abdo-
men. 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 crash, or if you pull the belt very
quickly out of the retractor.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
Before you begin to drive, move the shoul-
der belt adjuster to the height that is right
for you. Adjust the height so that the shoul-
der portion of the belt is centered on your
shoulder. The belt should be away from
your face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.
To move it down, squeeze the release but-
ton and move the height adjuster to the
desired position. You can move the
adjuster up just by pushing up on the
shoulder belt guide. After you move the
adjuster to where you want it, try to move it
down without squeezing the release button
to make sure it has locked into position.
