Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder
Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s 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.
Don’t let
it
get twisted.
The lap-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.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it
clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate
to
make sure it is secure.
If
the belt isn’t long enough, see
Safety
Belt
Extender
on
page
1-26.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able
to
unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if
you ever had to.
