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
1-30.
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.
