Adjust the driver’s head restraint so
the back of your head rests against
the center of the restraint.

Have passengers with adjustable
restraints adjust their restraints
properly as well. Taller persons
should adjust their restraint as high
as possible.

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.

Properly adjusted head restraints
will help protect occupants from
whiplash and other crash injuries.

See page

for how to adjust the

head restraints.

In the second row center seat and
the third row seats, be sure the
detachable anchors are also latched
(see page

).

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.
