How to Wear Safety Belts Properly

This part is only for people of adult size.

Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there are different rules for
smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in your
vehicle, see Older Children on page 1-26 or Infants and
Young Children
on page 1-28. Follow those rules for
everyone’s protection.

First, you will want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.

We will start with the driver position.

Driver Position

Lap-Shoulder Belt

The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear
it properly.

1. Close and lock the door.

2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see

how, see “Seats” in the Index.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.

Do not let it get twisted.

The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.
