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 “Front Seats” in the index.
3.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t 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.
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.
