The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Before putting on a front seat belt,
be sure your seat is adjusted
forward or backward to a good
driving or riding position and the
back of your seat is upright (see
page 51).
1. Pull the latch plate across your
body and insert it into the buckle.
Tug on the belt to make sure the
latch is securely locked.
2. Check that the belt is not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the
belt as low as possible
across
your hips,
not across your
stomach.
This lets your strong
pelvic bones take th
e force of a
crash.
4. Pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt to remove any slack.
Make sure the belt goes over
you
r collarbone and across your
chest.
