Protecting Adults

5. Fasten and Position the Seat

Belts

Insert the latch plate into the buckle,
then tug on the belt to make sure the
belt is securely latched. Also check
that the belt is not twisted, because a

twisted belt can cause serious

injuries in a crash.

Position the lap part of the belt as

low as possible across your hips,

then pull up on the shoulder part of

the belt so the lap part fits snugly.

This lets your strong pelvic bones

take the force of a crash and reduces
the chance of internal injuries.

If necessary, pull up on the belt again

to remove any slack from the

shoulder part, then check that the

belt rests across the center of your
chest and over your shoulder. This

spreads the forces of a crash over

the strongest bones in your upper

body.

Never place the shoulder portion of a

lap/shoulder belt under your arm or

behind your back. This could cause

very serious injuries in a crash.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Improperly positioning the seat

belts can cause serious injury
or death in a crash.

Make sure all seat belts are

properly positioned before

driving.
