3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
WARNING!
A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect
you properly. The lap portion could ride too high on your body,
possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt
into the buckle nearest you.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a
sudden stop, you could move too far forward, increasing the
possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous. Your
body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a
collision, increasing head and neck injury. A belt worn under
the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as
shoulder bones. Wear the belt over your shoulder so that your
strongest bones will take the force in a collision.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from
injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head
in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and
shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
