Proper Use of Lap Belt
1.
Enter the vehicle and sit back.
2.
Grasp the safety belt buckle and slide the buckle up the webbing as far as
necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3.
When the safety belt is long enough to fit, insert the buckle into the latch
until you hear a click.
4.
Position the lap belt across your thighs, and below your abdomen.
To remove slack in the lap belt pull up on the belt. To loosen the lap belt if it
is too tight, tilt the buckle and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the
risk of sliding under
the belt in a collision.
5.
To release the belt, push the red button on the latch.
CAUTION!
Make sure the button on the latch faces upward or outward, so that you are able
to unbuckle your safety belt quickly.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not modify or
disassemble the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged (bent buckle, torn webbing, etc.).
WARNING!
•
A belt that is buckled into the wrong latch will not function or protect you
properly. The lap portion of the safety belt could ride too high on your body,
possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your safety belt into the latch
nearest you.
•
A safety belt that is too loose will not function properly. In a sudden stop, you
could jerk too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your safety
belt snugly.
