Q: What is wrong with this?
A: The belt is twisted across the body.
{
WARNING:
You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a
crash, you would not have the full width of the belt
to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make
it straight so it can work properly, or ask your
dealer to fix it.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder
except for the center front passenger position (if
equipped), which has a lap belt. See
Lap Belt on
page 2 ‑ 30 for more information.
The following instructions explain how to wear a
lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you
can sit up straight. To see how, see “ Seats ” in the
Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Do not 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.
