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

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

a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too

tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug

belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in an

accident.

WARNING!

A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of

internal injury in an accident. 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 possible and keep it snug.

A twisted belt cannot do its job as well. In a

collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the
belt is straight. If you cannot straighten a belt in
your vehicle, take it to your authorized dealer
immediately 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.
