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 crash.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster (4-Door Models)
Before
you
begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
adjuster to the height that
is
right for you.
To move it down, squeeze the release button and move
the 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.
